Eliya [1] is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae with no tribe assigned. Species can be found in Sri Lanka. [2]
The Orthoptera Species File. [2] lists:
The Acrididae 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.
The subfamily Catantopinae is a group of insects classified under family Acrididae. Genera such as Macrotona may sometimes called "spur-throated grasshoppers", but that name is also used for grasshoppers from other subfamilies, including the genus Melanoplus from the Melanoplinae. Indeed, the delimitation of these two subfamilies needs restudy: the Podismini for example are sometimes placed here, sometimes in the Melanoplinae.
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:
Mopla is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae with no tribe assigned. Species can be found in India.
The Tettigoniinae are a subfamily of bush crickets or katydids, which contains hundreds of species in about twelve tribes.
Gomphocerinae, the slant-faced grasshoppers, are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Platycleis is a genus of bush crickets described by Fieber in 1853, belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae. The species of this genus are present in Europe, North Africa and temperate Asia.
Anacridium moestum, the camouflaged tree locust, is a species of grasshopper belonging to the family Acrididae, that is native to Africa south of the equator. It is similar in appearance to the Southern African desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria subsp. flavicentris. It is likewise brownish, large and slender, but mostly arboreal in its habits.
Catantops is a genus of grasshoppers in the tribe Catantopini and is typical of the subfamily Catantopinae. Species can be found in Africa, including Madagascar and subcontinental India.
Pezotettix is a genus of 'short-horned grasshoppers' belonging to the family Acrididae subfamily Pezotettiginae.
The Cyrtacanthacridinae are a subfamily of Orthoptera: Caelifera in the family Acrididae. They are sometimes referred-to as bird locusts, criquets voyageurs in French-speaking Africa, and Knarrschrecken in German.
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.
The Hemiacridinae are a subfamily of Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Species can be found in Africa, and Asia.
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.
Eyprepocnemis is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Eyprepocnemidinae with species found in Africa, Southern Europe through to tropical Asia.
Stenocatantops is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and subfamily Catantopinae. The recorded distribution of species includes: India, China, Indo-China and Malesia through to Australia.
Bettotania is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae, not assigned to any tribe. Species can be found in Indo-China and Borneo.
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.
Dericorys is the type genus of grasshoppers of the family Dericorythidae. Species have been recorded from Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Atlantic islands and western Asia.
Stolzia is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae and the monotypic tribe Incolacridini Tinkham, 1940. Species can be found in India, China, Indochina and Malesia.
