Chloracris is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Pseudophyllini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. [1]
The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists:
Note: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Chloracris.
The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include cave crickets, camel crickets, Hogan bugs, spider crickets, land shrimp, and sand treaders. Those occurring in New Zealand are typically referred to as jumping or cave wētā. Most are found in forest environments or within caves, animal burrows, cellars, under stones, or in wood or similar environments. All species are flightless and nocturnal, usually with long antennae and legs. More than 500 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described.
Bandwings, or band-winged grasshoppers, are the subfamily Oedipodinae of grasshoppers classified under the family Acrididae. They have a worldwide distribution and were originally elevated to full family status as the Oedipodidae. Many species primarily inhabit xeric weedy fields, and some are considered to be important locusts:
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers.
The Phaneropterinae, the sickle-bearing bush crickets or leaf katydids, are a subfamily of insects within the family Tettigoniidae. Nearly 2,060 species in 85 genera throughout the world are known. They are also known as false katydids or round-headed katydids.
Coladenia is an Oriental genus of spread-winged skippers in the family Hesperiidae. They are found throughout most of Southern, Southeastern, and Eastern Asia.
Zabalius is a genus of bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Its distribution is essentially Afrotropical. They are generally heavily built, tree-dwelling herbivorous katydids, capable of flight.
Mecopodinae are a subfamily of bush crickets found in western South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. In Asia, the distribution includes India, Indochina, Japan, the Philippines, and Malesia to Papua New Guinea and Australasia, including many Pacific islands.
Atractomorpha crenulata, commonly known as the tobacco grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper in the subfamily Pyrgomorphinae, found in Asia.
The Lathiceridae are a family of grasshoppers, in the Orthoptera: suborder Caelifera. Species in this family can be found in the desert regions of southern Africa where they resemble the stony ground on which they live. They are characterized by their apterous (wingless) bodies, which are dorsoventrally depressed and often excessively widened in the metathoracic region, giving them a spindle-like appearance. Their integument is sculptured and rugose, and their coloration varies from white to brown and purple, harmonizing with the color of the substratum on which they live.
The Ommexechidae are a family of grasshoppers, in the Orthoptera: suborder Caelifera. Species in this family can be found in the Americas.
Insara, commonly known as western bush katydids, is a genus of katydids in the family Tettigoniidae.
Oedaleus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae.
Olcinia is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are found in tropical forest regions of Indo-China and Malesia.
Chorotypus is a genus of Asian grasshoppers in the family Chorotypidae; species can be found in: India, Indochina and Malesia.
Pharmacus montanus, the Mount Cook flea, is a type of cave wētā found above the tree line in the South Island of New Zealand. It was first described by Francois Jules Pictet de la Rive and Henri Saussure in 1893. Pharmacus montanus is one of the most widespread species within the genus, found from Aoraki/Mount Cook to Mt Owen in northern South Island. The highest recorded specimens of this species are from a population between 2700 and 2800 m above sea level on Mt Annan above the Tasman Glacier.
Phyllomimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae; species have been recorded from India, China, Indochina and Malesia.
Paramorsimus is a genus of Asian bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from India, Indochina (Vietnam) and Malesia.
Tympanophyllum is a genus of Southeast Asian bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini within the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from India, through Indo-China and Malesia to New Guinea. The genus was named in 1902.
Chromacris is a genus of lubber grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae. The nine described species in Chromacris are found in Mexico, Central America, or South America. They often have bright aposematic colors and they are presumed to be toxic.
Asarcogryllacris is an Asian genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets': in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Asarcogryllacridini. Species have been recorded from Indochina and west Malesia.
