Agryllus is a genus of cricket in subfamily Gryllinae, with species records from China, Indochina and Java. [2]
Agryllus contains the following species: [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.
Trigonidiinae is a subfamily of insects in the order Orthoptera, suborder Ensifera, based on the type genus Trigonidium. They are often referred to as sword-tail crickets, winged bush crickets or trigs.
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.
Meconematinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets, with a worldwide distribution.
Mogoplistidae is a family of scaly crickets within the superfamily Grylloidea. Considered to be monophyletic, a sister taxon to the Gryllidae crickets. This family consists of more than 370 species worldwide; 20 species in 4 genera occur in North America and this family includes the scaly crickets of Europe.
Nemobiinae is a subfamily of the newly constituted Trigonidiidae, one of the cricket families. The type genus is Nemobius, which includes the wood cricket, but members of this subfamily may also be known as ground crickets or "pygmy field crickets".
Polionemobius is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Nemobiinae. Species can be found in Asia.
Gialaia is a genus of crickets in family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. A discontinuous distribution of records, between Madagascar, Indo-China and New Guinea is almost certainly incomplete.
Podoscirtinae is a subfamily of crickets in the family Gryllidae.
Elimaea is a large genus within Tettigoniidae, the bush cricket or katydid family. Species in this genus are found in India, southern China, Indo-China and Malesia.
Stictophaula is a genus of Asian Tettigoniidae of the tribe Holochlorini within the subfamily Phaneropterinae. They are found in Indo-China, China, and Malesia.
Cononicephora is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini within the subfamily Meconematinae. All species are endemic to Vietnam.
Anelytra is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
Liara is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
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.
Modicogryllini is a tribe of crickets in the family Gryllidae. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in all continenents except Antarctica.
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.
Mimicogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been found in Indo-China and Borneo.
Rhinoteratura is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini in the new subtribe Meconematina. The genus was erected by AV Gorochov in 1993 as a subgenus of Leptoteratura (Rhinoteratura); he uprated it to genus level in 2022. Species are recorded from Japan, China, Vietnam, and west Malesia.
