Leva is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Gomphocerinae with species found in Africa and Asia. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Leva: [1]
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.
The grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera.
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.
Gomphocerinae, sometimes called "slant-faced grasshoppers", are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Tettigonia is the type genus of bush crickets belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae. The scientific name Tettigonia is onomatopoeic and derives from the Greek τεττιξ, meaning cicada.
Meconematinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets, with a worldwide distribution.
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.
Conocephalinae, meaning "conical head", is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae.
Oxyinae is subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. Species are distributed throughout Africa and Australasia.
Oxyini is one of two tribes of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oxyinae. Some genera previously listed here are now placed in the subfamilies Caryandinae and Hemiacridinae.
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.
The Eyprepocnemidinae are a subfamily of Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Species can be found in Africa, mainland 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.
Calliptamus is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 17 described species in Calliptamus, found in the Palearctic and Africa.
The Pyrgomorphinae are a sub-family of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae. Species are found in, especially the warmer parts of: Central and South America, southern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Pacific Islands. The type genus is Pyrgomorpha and names dates from "Pyrgomorphiden" by Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1874. The first use of Pyrgomorphinae was by Krauss in 1890.
Eyprepocnemis is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Eyprepocnemidinae with species found in Africa, Southern Europe through to tropical Asia.
Eucoptacra is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and subfamily Coptacrinae. Species can be found in: Africa, India, Indo-China, peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
The Phlaeobini are a tribe of grasshoppers in the subfamily Acridinae. The recorded distribution of genera includes: Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
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.
