Chorotypidae is a family of tropical Asian grasshoppers (order Orthoptera). These grasshoppers have a head that rises above the level of the thorax and short antennae. Some species have reduced wings, others have wings that widen towards the tips and still others have a flattened leaf-like shape. They lack abdominal tympani (hearing organs).^[1]
