Paprides is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least two described species in Paprides, found in New Zealand. Both species were moved to the genus Sigaus in 2023

Species

These species use to belong to the genus Paprides:

  • Sigaus dugdali (Bigelow, 1967). A grasshopper species found in tussock above 400 m above sea level in the southern half of South Island New Zealand.
  • Sigaus nitidus (Hutton, 1898) An alpine grasshopper species restricted to the northern two thirds of South Island New Zealand. Females are larger than males. This species is sister to three species that were previously in the genus Brachaspis (Sigaus collinus; S. nivalis and S. robustus).
