Résumé : The grasshopper Rhammatocerus schistocercoides (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) causes severe damages in rice, soybeans, maize, sugar cane, and native pastures in Brazil. This species is mainly concentrated between the parallels 12° and 15° south and meridians 52° to 61° west. This area partially occupies the states of Rondonia, Mato Grosso, and Goias, where since 1983 there have been severe outbreaks (mainly in 1984 to 1988 and 1992 to 1993). This insect also is present in Colombia and Venezuela, where it is reported as one of the main problems in the local agriculture.
