The Acrididae, or 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.
The Lathiceridae are a family of grasshoppers, in the Orthoptera: suborder Caelifera. Species in this family can be found in the desert regions of southern Africa where they resemble the stony ground on which they live. They are characterized by their apterous (wingless) bodies, which are dorsoventrally depressed and often excessively widened in the metathoracic region, giving them a spindle-like appearance. Their integument is sculptured and rugose, and their coloration varies from white to brown and purple, harmonizing with the color of the substratum on which they live.
Podismini is a tribe of "spur-throated grasshoppers" in the family Acrididae. This tribe is unlike others in the subfamily Melanoplinae in that a substantial number of genera occur outside the Americas.
Oxya is a genus of grasshoppers found in Africa and Asia.
The Tropidopolinae are a subfamily of Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Species can be found in Africa, southern Europe and Asia.
Dociostaurus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Gomphocerinae and typical of the tribe Dociostaurini. Species are found in Africa, southern Europe and Asia, and includes the economically important Moroccan locust.
Xiphidiopsis is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Meconematinae. Species have been recorded from: India, China, Japan, Indochina, Malesia, and islands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific.
Pteronemobius is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Nemobiinae, with a worldwide distribution.
Eyprepocnemis is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Eyprepocnemidinae with species found in Africa, Southern Europe through to tropical Asia.
Heteropternis is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Oedipodinae, and tribe Epacromiini. The recorded distribution of species in Heteropternis is from Africa and India through to Japan, Malesia, and Papua New Guinea.
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 subfamily Gomphocerinae. Species have been recorded from tropical Africa and Asia.
Sphingonotus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Oedipodinae, found in Europe Africa, Asia and Australia.
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.
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.
Ochrilidia is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Gomphocerinae and typical of the tribe Ochrilidiini; it was erected by Carl Stål in 1873. Species have been recorded from Africa, the Middle East through to India and certain Mediterranean islands in Europe.
