Ecphantus quadrilobus, also known as the crested tooth-grinder, is a genus of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae.[1] It is found mostly in Top End Australian savannas, especially in more arid areas around the Barkly Tablelands.[2] When handled it makes a defensive whining sound by rubbing the mandibles together. E. quadrilobus is particularly found on solanaceous plants.
