Batrachideinae is a subfamily of groundhoppers or pygmy grasshoppers. There are thought to be 20 genera in Batrachideinae, with genera found in the Americas, Africa, (mostly tropical) Asia and Australia. [1]
Groudhoppers in this subfamily are characterised by having antennae consisting of 18-22 segments (other Tetrigidae have less than 16). [2]
About 25 genera in three tribes belong to the subfamily Batrachideinae: [1]
