Gryllotalpa [1] is a genus of insects in the mole cricket family Gryllotalpidae.
The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists a number species, including cryptic species groups (indicated with a * and often distinguished only by song patterns). They include:
Conocephalus is a genus of bush crickets, known as coneheads. It was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1815.
The Myrmecophilidae or ant-loving crickets are rarely encountered relatives of mole crickets. They are very small, wingless, and flattened, so resemble small cockroach nymphs. The few genera contain fewer than 100 species. Ant crickets are yellow, brown, or nearly black in color. They do not produce sound, and lack both wings and tympanal organs ("ears") on the front tibia.
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.
Teleogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae. Species can be found in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific islands.
The Eneopterinae are a subfamily of crickets, in the family Gryllidae, based on the type genus Eneoptera. It is one of several groups widely described as "true crickets". Of the more than 500 species that make up this subfamily, most occur in moist, tropical habitats. These insects are medium to large and brown or gray in color. They eat plant leaves, flowers, and fruits and can occasionally cause economic damage. Their eggs are deposited in pith, bark, or wood. Eneopterinae show a great diversity in stridulatory apparatus, signals emitted, and associated behaviour.
Gryllotalpa africana, also known as the African mole cricket, is a relatively small mole cricket species, native to Africa, but local populations exist in Asia, and southern Europe.
Nemobiinae is a subfamily of the newly constituted Trigonidiidae, one of the cricket families. The type genus is Nemobius, which includes the wood cricket, but members of this subfamily may also be known as ground crickets or "pygmy field crickets".
Gymnogryllus is a genus of crickets in family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species are recorded from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Conocephalinae, meaning "conical head", is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae.
Xya is a genus of pygmy mole crickets, with species recorded from Africa, southern Europe, Asia and Australia.
Trigonidium is a large genus of sword-tail crickets, typical of the tribe Trigonidiini. Records of occurrence are from Europe, Africa, tropical Asia, Australia and the Pacific islands; many species endemic to Pacific islands including Hawaii have now been placed in the genus Nudilla.
Gryllotalpa unispina is a species of mole cricket, in the G. gryllotalpa species group, found in Eastern Europe through to Manchuria. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Pteronemobius is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Nemobiinae, with a worldwide distribution.
Ripipterygidae is a family of insects in the order Orthoptera. Members of the family are commonly known as mud crickets.
Micrornebius is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Mogoplistinae, tribe Mogoplistini.
Gryllini is a tribe of crickets and typical of the family Gryllidae. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in all continenents except Antarctica.
Euscyrtus is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Euscyrtinae. Species can be found mostly in Africa, Asia and Australia.
Velarifictorus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been recorded in Australia, Asia, Africa and the southeastern US.
Truljalia is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Podoscirtinae and tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: India, southern China, Korea, Japan, Indo-China and west Malesia.
Ornebius is a genus of crickets in the family Mogoplistidae and the tribe Arachnocephalini, erected by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1844. Species may be called "common scaled crickets" and have widespread records of distribution, which are discontinuous ; they include: Africa, Asia, Australia, islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and South America.
