The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include cave crickets, camel crickets, spider crickets, 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.
Conocephalus is a genus of bush crickets, known as coneheads. It was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1815.
The Tettigoniinae are a subfamily of bush crickets or katydids, which contains hundreds of species in about twelve tribes.
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.
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.
Hexacentrus is the type genus of bush-crickets in the subfamily Hexacentrinae. Most species of this genus occur in Southeast Asia and in Africa.
Gryllacridinae is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Gryllacrididae.
Meconematinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets, with a worldwide distribution.
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.
The Copiphorini are a tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. Previously considered a subfamily, they are now placed in the subfamily Conocephalinae. Like some other members of Conocephalinae, they are known as coneheads, grasshopper-like insects with an extended, cone-shaped projection on their heads that juts forward in front of the base of the antennae.
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".
Agraeciini is a large tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the conehead subfamily, Conocephalinae.
Ruspolia is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Conocephalinae. This genus includes species that may be called 'cone-heads', but the name has also been used for Conocephalus and other genera in the subfamily.
The Listroscelidinae are a subfamily of the Tettigoniidae found in the Americas, Madagascar, and Australia. The genus Arachnoscelis has become better known to the public after being featured on the cover of Science in 2012.
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.
Liara is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
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.
Diaphanogryllacris is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Hyperbaeninae and tribe Capnogryllacridini. The recorded distribution is: the Indian subcontinent, China, Indochina, western Malesia up to Sulawesi.
