Homoeogryllus [1] is a genus of cricket in the subfamily Cachoplistinae and tribe Homoeogryllini. The recorded distribution is: Africa and Peninsular Malaysia.
Some species, previously placed here are now in the genus Meloimorpha . The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists:
Trigonidiinae is a subfamily of insects in the order Orthoptera, suborder Ensifera, based on the type genus Trigonidium. They are often referred to as sword-tail crickets, winged bush crickets or trigs.
Phalangopsinae, occasionally known as spider crickets, are a subfamily of crickets in the family Phalangopsidae. Members of Phalangopsinae are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. Most species in the subfamily are nocturnal and can be found in rocky areas, near fallen wood, and the understory of forests. Some species are gregarious, gathering in large numbers.
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.
Mogoplistidae is a family of scaly crickets within the superfamily Grylloidea. Considered to be monophyletic, a sister taxon to the Gryllidae crickets. This family consists of 30 genera and 364 species worldwide; 20 species in 4 genera occur in North America and this family includes the scaly crickets of 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".
Hygronemobius is a genus of insect in family Gryllidae.
Gymnogryllus is a genus of crickets in family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species are recorded from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Homoeogryllus orientalis, the South African bell cricket, is a species in the tribe Homoeogryllini of the subfamily Cachoplistinae. The species is reported from southern tropical Africa including parts of Mozambique and South Africa. Within South Africa it has been reported south of the tropics in the Bushveld and in the Free State.
Hapithinae is a subfamily of insects in the cricket family Gryllidae. It is one of several groups referred to in American English as "bush crickets", although this term can be confused with the Tettigoniidae.
Podoscirtinae is a subfamily of crickets in the family Gryllidae.
The Gryllotalpoidea are a superfamily of insects that includes the mole crickets and the ant crickets. The type genus is Gryllotalpa.
The Phalangopsidae are a recently reconstituted family of crickets, based on the type genus PhalangopsisServille, 1831 from South America. Priority for family-group names based on this genus dates from Blanchard's "Phalangopsites".
The Phaloriinae is a subfamily of crickets of the family Phalangopsidae. Species are terrestrial and are distributed in: Africa, tropical Asia, Korea, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
The Cachoplistinae is a subfamily of crickets of the family Phalangopsidae; they are sometimes called beetle crickets. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in: Africa, tropical Asia, Korea and Japan.
The Euscyrtinae are a subfamily of crickets, in the family Gryllidae, based on the type genus Euscyrtus. They are terrestrial and omnivorous and can be found in: Central America, Africa, Asia and Australia.
Aphonomorphini is a tribe of crickets in the subfamily Hapithinae. There are about 6 genera and more than 90 described species in Aphonomorphini.
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.
Zvenella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: southern China, Indochina and Sumatra.
