Etymology:
Named after Klaus Günther, a famous German entomologist, zoologist, anthropologist, and philologist. Günther is one of the fathers of modern tetrigidology, who described three tribes, 43 genera (38 valid in 2024), and 246 species (226 valid in 2024). The generic name is composed of Guenther and acris, Latinized Greek word (ἀκρίς) for a grasshopper.
