Macrochiton is a genus of katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. [1]
Anostostomatidae is a family of insects in the order Orthoptera, widely distributed in the southern hemisphere. It is named Mimnermidae or Henicidae in some taxonomies, and common names include king crickets in Australia and South Africa, and wētā in New Zealand. Prominent members include the Parktown prawn of South Africa, and the giant wētā of New Zealand. The distribution of this family reflects a common ancestry before the fragmenting of Gondwana.
Acrididae, commonly called short-horned grasshoppers, 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 Euphasmatodea, also known by its junior synonym Verophasmatodea is a suborder of the Phasmatodea, which contains the vast majority of the extant species of stick and leaf insects, excluding the Timematodea. The oldest record of Euphasmatodea is Araripephasma from the Crato Formation of Brazil, dating to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous.
Isophya is a genus of bush crickets, in the tribe Barbitistini, found from mainland Europe to western Asia.
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.
Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl was a Swiss entomologist who specialised in Orthoptera, and a botanist.
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers.
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.
Chorotypidae is a family of tropical Asian grasshoppers, formerly included within the family Eumastacidae. These grasshoppers have a head that rises above the level of the thorax and short antennae. Some species have reduced wings, others have wings that widen towards the tips and still others have a flattened leaf-like shape. They lack abdominal tympani.
Typophyllum is a genus of Neotropical, leaf-mimicking katydids or bush crickets belonging to the subfamily Pterochrozinae.
Schochia Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895, is an extant genus of South American bush-cricket in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
Caedicia is a genus of bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species can be found Australasia, with records from Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, and Australia.
Sanaa regalis is a species of insect in the bush-cricket or katydid family, Tettigoniidae, found in the Himalayas. It was first described in 1895 by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl as Termera regalis.
Phyllomimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae; species have been recorded from India, China, Indochina and Malesia.
Hemigyrus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from: southern China and Indo-China.
Paramorsimus is a genus of Asian bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from India, Indochina (Vietnam) and Malesia.
Tympanophyllum is a genus of Southeast Asian bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini within the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from India, through Indo-China and Malesia to New Guinea. The genus was named in 1902.
Typhoptera is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Cymatomerini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species are recorded from India, Indo-China and Malesia.
Hyperbaenus is a genus of South American Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the family Gryllacridinae. It is the type genus for its tribe Hyperbaenini and the new subfamily Hyperbaeninae.
Melanonotus is a genus of katydid insects in the family Tettigoniidae.
