The genus Alpinacris is endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. A. crassicauda was described in 1967 by Robert Sidney Bigelow,[1] with a type locality of Lead Hills, Boulder Lake ({{coord|-40.8931397|172.5489702 |scale:100000|format=dms}}). A male holotype and paratype are deposited in the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch. Like all of New Zealand sub-alpine and alpine grasshoppers A. crassicauda has a 2 or 3 years life cycle. The eggs must ‘overwinter’ before they will hatch. Hoppers are found throughout the year and adult grasshoppers can be found throughout the New Zealand summer between December and April. The adult A. crassicauda do not overwinter. Distribution and habitatAlpinacris crassicauda is only known from West Coast Region and Tasman Region of New Zealand.[2] It can be found as far south as the Right Branch of the Rahu River, Spring Junction ({{coord|-42.291844|172.123285|scale:300000|format=dms}}) and as far north as the Thousand Acres Plateau, Matiri Range ({{coord|-41.593646|172.322454|scale:300000|format=dms}}). Alpinacris crassicauda prefer alpine tussock grasslands between {{convert|1,200|-|1500|m|ft}}, however, can be found as low as {{convert|1,020|m|ft}} on the Thousand Acres Plateau, Matiri Range ({{coord|-41.593646|172.322454|scale:100000|format=dms}}). Species descriptionThe wings on A. tumidicauda are micropterous (small wings) between {{convert|2|-|4|mm|in}} making this species flightless like most of New Zealand grasshoppers. Male body length {{convert|18|-|22|mm|in}}; Female body length {{convert|25|-|35|mm|in}}. Type information
