Chorotypinae [1] is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Chorotypidae. There are currently 8 genera and more than 30 described species in Chorotypinae, found in Africa and Asia [2] [3]
These eight genera belong to the subfamily Chorotypinae:
The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.
The subfamily Catantopinae is a group of insects classified under family Acrididae. Genera such as Macrotona may sometimes called "spur-throated grasshoppers", but that name is also used for grasshoppers from other subfamilies, including the genus Melanoplus from the Melanoplinae. Indeed, the delimitation of these two subfamilies needs restudy: the Podismini for example are sometimes placed here, sometimes in the Melanoplinae.
The grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera.
The Romaleidae or lubber grasshoppers are a family of grasshoppers, based on the type genus Romalea. The species in this family can be found in the Americas.
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.
Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia.
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.
Gomphocerinae, the slant-faced grasshoppers, are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
The Hetrodinae are a subfamily of robust orthopterans in the family Tettigoniidae.
Melanoplini is a tribe of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 19 genera and more than 200 described species in Melanoplini, all in North America. Their biogeography shows that many species in the tribe have descendants from the Eocene epoch and Miocene epoch.
Turpilia is a genus of phaneropterine katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. There are about nine described species in Turpilia.
Copiocerinae is a subfamily of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least 20 genera in Copiocerinae, found in southern North America, Central America, and South America.
Chininae is a subfamily of Asian grasshoppers in the family Chorotypidae based on the type genus China. There are currently two known genera and about nine described species, found in southern China and Southeast Asia. The subfamily was first formally erected in 1899.
Phyllomimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
Ducetia is the type genus of the Ducetiini: a tribe of Asian bush crickets.
Proscopiinae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Proscopiidae. There are more than 20 genera and 190 described species, found in South America.
Lonchodidae is a family of stick insects, with more than 150 genera and 1,000 described species.
Pezotettiginae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, found in southern Europe, northern Africa, and the Mediterranean region. There are at least 2 genera and about 10 described species in Pezotettiginae.
Proctolabinae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are more than 20 genera and 210 described species which are found in South America.
