This list contains extant European genera of the "Orthopteroid" orders (or Polyneoptera) that are often studied and written-about together. With the limited fauna in the British Isles, it is relatively easy to include organisms to species level: as in the list of Orthoptera and allied insects of Great Britain. However, the whole continent - defined here biogeographically as the part of the Palaearctic realm West of the Ural mountains, including all islands - encompasses a much greater diversity (well over 1000 species) that includes a number of recently erected and little-known genera.

Contents

The list may also be of interest outside Europe, since for various historical reasons, the continent is home to the type species of many higher taxa: to family level and above (e.g. Tettigonia viridissima , the great-green bush cricket, is type for its genus, tribe, family and superfamily: the Tettigonoidea).

Searches have been carried out the authoritative Species Files for the following sections of this list:

The focus has been on native species, but some genera marked with a *, may contain species that are probably introduced, cosmopolitan or other vagrant organisms.
