Laplatacris is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There is one described species in Laplatacris, L. dispar, found in South America.[1][2] Laplatacris's nymphal mortality is mostly a result of polyphagous spiders. While Laplatacris's adult mortality is predominantly caused by predators and parasites.[3]
