Dericorys [1] is the type genus of grasshoppers of the family Dericorythidae. [2] Species have been recorded from Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Atlantic islands and western Asia.
The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists:
The grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera.
The subfamily Tettigoniinae, sometimes called shield-backed katydids, contains hundreds of species, which are native to the Americas, Australia, southern Africa, Europe, and the Near East. The faunas of the Neotropics and Australia are more closely related to one other than to those of southern Africa, although the three groups are related. They are attributed to an ancient Gondwana fauna which is reflected in the known distribution of the southern African genera, which are in turn related to the North American genera Neduba and Aglaothorax. Many of the common northern European species are in this subfamily.
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".
Ameles is a wide-ranging genus of praying mantises represented in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
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.
Acrotylus is a genus of grasshopper in the family Oedipodinae and the type genus of the tribe Acrotylini.
Mecopodinae, the long-legged katydids, 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.
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.
Xenocatantops is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae and tribe Catantopini. Species can be found in Africa, India, China, Indo-China and Malesia.
The Pyrgomorphinae are a sub-family of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae. Species are found in, especially the warmer parts of: Central and South America, southern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Pacific Islands. The type genus is Pyrgomorpha and names dates from "Pyrgomorphiden" by Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1874. The first use of Pyrgomorphinae was by Krauss in 1890.
Tristria is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Tropidopolinae with species found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Eyprepocnemis is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Eyprepocnemidinae with species found in Africa, Southern Europe through to tropical Asia.
Phlaeoba is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and subfamily Acridinae. The recorded distribution of species includes: India, China, Indo-China and Malesia.
Truxalis is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Acridinae and tribe Truxalini. Species can be found in: Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Asia minor through to Indo-China.
Gelastorhinus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Gomphocerinae.
Choroedocus is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae, not assigned to any tribe. Species can be found in South Africa, India and Indo-China.
Uromenus is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Bradyporinae and tribe Ephippigerini.
