Pezotettix giornae is a species of 'short-horned grasshoppers' belonging to the subfamily Pezotettiginae (similar to and previously placed in the Catantopinae[2]).

[3] This species inhabits meadows of lowlands, forest edges, xerotherm areas of plains and southern slopes of stony mountains.

The eyes are relatively large and the sides of thorax sometimes show a white or darker longitudinal stripe.

The wings are scaly, oval, very short, reaching only the middle of the second rear segment, so they are unable to fly and resemble nymphs (brachyptery).

[5] This immature stages of this species develop in summer, passing through six instars.
