Acrididae, commonly called short-horned grasshoppers, 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.
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 Tettigoniinae are a subfamily of bush crickets or katydids, which contains hundreds of species in about twelve tribes.
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.
Oxyinae is subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. Species are distributed throughout Africa and Australasia.
Oxya is a genus of grasshoppers found in Africa and Asia.

Hemigyrus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from: southern China and Indo-China.
The Orthopteran subfamily Aemodogryllinae contains about sixteen genera of camel crickets. It was named after AemodogryllusAdelung, 1902 - which is now considered a subgenus of Diestrammena.
Conophyma is the type genus of grasshoppers of the subfamily Conophyminae and tribe Conophymini. Species are recorded from central Asia.
Tropidopola is a genus of grasshoppers, erected by Carl Stål in 1873. It is the type genus of the monotypic tribe Tropidopolini and the subfamily Tropidopolinae. Species are distributed in: central-northern Africa, southern Europe and Asia: near East, India up to Siberia.
