Abaxitrella [1] is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Podoscirtinae and tribe Podoscirtini. This genus has species recorded from southeast China and Vietnam. [2]
Two species are currently known: [2]
The family Gryllidae contains the subfamilies and genera which entomologists now term true crickets. Having long, whip-like antennae, they belong to the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera, which has been greatly reduced in the last 100 years : taxa such as the spider-crickets and allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets have been elevated to family level. The type genus is Gryllus and the first use of the family name "Gryllidae" was by Francis Walker.
Ensifera is a suborder of insects that includes the various types of crickets and their allies including: true crickets, camel crickets, bush crickets or katydids, grigs, weta and Cooloola monsters. This and the suborder Caelifera make up the order Orthoptera. Ensifera is believed to be a more ancient group than Caelifera, with its origins in the Carboniferous period, the split having occurred at the end of the Permian period. Unlike the Caelifera, the Ensifera contain numerous members that are partially carnivorous, feeding on other insects, as well as plants.
Gryllacrididae are a family of non-jumping insects in the suborder Ensifera occurring worldwide, known commonly as leaf-rolling crickets or raspy crickets. The family historically has been broadly defined to include what are presently several other families, such as Stenopelmatidae and Rhaphidophoridae, now considered separate. As presently defined, the family contains two subfamilies: Gryllacridinae and Hyperbaeninae. They are commonly wingless and nocturnal. In the daytime, most species rest in shelters made from folded leaves sewn with silk. Some species use silk to burrow in sand, earth or wood. Raspy crickets evolved the ability to produce silk independently from other insects, but their silk has many convergent features to silkworm silk, being made of long, repetitive proteins with an extended beta-sheet structure.
Phalangopsinae, occasionally known as spider crickets, are a subfamily of crickets in the family Phalangopsidae. Members of Phalangopsinae are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. Most species in the subfamily are nocturnal and can be found in rocky areas, near fallen wood, and the understory of forests. Some species are gregarious, gathering in large numbers.
Diestrammena is a 'camel' or 'cave-cricket' genus in the family Rhaphidophoridae. Species in the genus are native to Asia, including Japan.
Podoscirtinae is a subfamily of crickets in the family Gryllidae.
Gigantettix is a genus of camel crickets in the subfamily Aemodogryllinae and tribe Diestramimini. The type species, from Vietnam, was originally assigned to the genus Diestramima ; subsequently, other species have been found in the Indo-China region.
Xizicus is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini in the subfamily Meconematinae. They are found in India, China, Korea, and Indochina.
Adiestramima is a genus of cave or camel crickets in the subfamily Aemodogryllinae and tribe Diestramimini. Originating in Asia, species have been found in the Indo-China region, mostly Vietnam.
Gryllini is a tribe of crickets and typical of the family Gryllidae. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in all continenents except Antarctica.
Truljalia is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Podoscirtinae and tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: India, southern China, Korea, Japan, Indo-China and west Malesia.
Idiotrella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini, erected by A.V. Gorochov in 2002;. Species have been recorded from Indo-China and West Malesia including Borneo.
Sonotrella is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Podoscirtinae and tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: southern China, Indo-China and west Malesia.
Zvenella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: southern China, Indochina and Sumatra.
Valiatrella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: India, southern China and Vietnam.

Phyllotrella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: eastern China and Vietnam.
Noctitrella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: southern China and Indochina.
Metriogryllacris is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae, tribe Gryllacridini and the genus group Metriogryllacrae Cadena-Castañeda, 2019. The recorded distribution is currently: Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam and Java and Sulawesi in Malesia.
Adenopterus is a genus of crickets belonging to the tribe Podoscirtini recorded from the Pacific Islands.
