The Caelifera are a suborder of orthopteran insects. They include the grasshoppers and grasshopper-like insects, as well as other superfamilies classified with them: the ground-hoppers (Tetrigoidea) and pygmy mole crickets (Tridactyloidea). The latter should not be confused with the mole crickets (Gryllotalpidae), which belong to the other Orthopteran sub-order Ensifera.
Tetrigidae is an ancient family in the order Orthoptera, which also includes similar families such as crickets, grasshoppers, and their allies. Species within the Tetrigidae are variously called groundhoppers, pygmy grasshoppers, pygmy devils or "grouse locusts".
Gryllotalpa is a genus of insects in the mole cricket family Gryllotalpidae.
Metrioptera is a genus of insects in the tribe Platycleidini and subfamily Tettigoniinae, include the bog and meadow bush crickets. They are found in Eurasia.
Oecanthus rufescens, known as the striped tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket from Asia.
Chorotypidae is a family of tropical Asian grasshoppers, formerly included within the family Eumastacidae. These grasshoppers have a head that rises above the level of the thorax and short antennae. Some species have reduced wings, others have wings that widen towards the tips and still others have a flattened leaf-like shape. They lack abdominal tympani.
Proscopiidae is a family of Neotropical grasshoppers, now placed in its own superfamily, the Proscopioidea. Some species may be known as stick grasshoppers or jumping sticks.
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 30 genera and 364 species worldwide; 20 species in 4 genera occur in North America and this family includes the scaly crickets of Europe.
Saga is a genus of bush crickets or katydids containing around 15 species as of 2018. It is the only genus in the tribe Sagini and belongs to the subfamily Saginae. Species have been recorded from mainland Europe and western Asia.
Acrididea including the Acridomorpha is an infraorder of insects that describe the grasshoppers and ground-hoppers. It contains a large majority of species in the suborder Caelifera and the taxon Acridomorpha may also be used, which excludes the Tetrigoidea. Both names are derived from older texts, such as Imms, which placed the "short-horned grasshoppers" and locusts at the family level (Acrididae). The study of grasshopper species is called acridology.
Conocephalinae, meaning "conical head", is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae.
Patanga is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Species are distributed throughout Asia: from India, China, Japan, Indo-China and western Malesia. The genus was named in 1923.
Dericorythidae are a family of grasshoppers, in the Orthoptera: suborder Caelifera. Species in this family can be found in northern Africa, southern Europe and Asia.
The Pterochrozinae are a subfamily of the Tettigoniidae found in Central and South America. They were previously placed as a tribe in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae and have been called "leaf-mimic katydids".
Tettigoniidea is an infraorder of the order Orthoptera, with six extant families.
Nemobius is a genus of crickets in the family Trigonidiidae.
Cyrtacanthacris is the type genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Species records are distributed in Africa through to Indo-China.
Tympanophyllum is a genus of Southeast Asian leaf-mimicking katydids, insects in the tribe Phyllomimini. Species in this genus have been recorded from India to New Guinea. The genus was named in 1902.
The subfamily Rhaphidophorinae contains the single tribe of camel crickets, the Rhaphidophorini, based on the type genus Rhaphidophora.
Odontura is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and typical of the tribe Odonturini. Species can be found in Africa and Europe.
