Markia is a genus of katydids found in Central and South America. [1]
Species include:
Mole crickets are members of the insect family Gryllotalpidae, in the order Orthoptera. Mole crickets are cylindrical-bodied insects about 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) long as adults, with small eyes and shovel-like fore limbs highly developed for burrowing. They are present in many parts of the world and where they have arrived in new regions, may become agricultural pests.
Tettigidea is a genus of pygmy grasshoppers in the family Tetrigidae. There are at least 40 described species in Tettigidea found in the Americas.
Gryllacrididae are a family of non-jumping insects in the suborder Ensifera occurring worldwide, known commonly as leaf-rolling crickets or raspy crickets. The family historically has been broadly defined to include what are presently several other families, such as Stenopelmatidae and Rhaphidophoridae, now considered separate. As presently defined, the family contains two subfamilies: Gryllacridinae and Hyperbaeninae. They are commonly wingless and nocturnal. In the daytime, most species rest in shelters made from folded leaves sewn with silk. Some species use silk to burrow in sand, earth or wood. Raspy crickets evolved the ability to produce silk independently from other insects, but their silk has many convergent features to silkworm silk, being made of long, repetitive proteins with an extended beta-sheet structure.
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.
Peruvia is a genus of South American grasshoppers comprising two species:
Gryllacridinae is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Gryllacrididae.
The Copiphorini are a tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. Previously considered a subfamily, they are now placed in the subfamily Conocephalinae. Like some other members of Conocephalinae, they are known as coneheads, grasshopper-like insects with an extended, cone-shaped projection on their heads that juts forward in front of the base of the antennae.
Neoscapteriscus vicinus, the tawny mole cricket, is a species of insect in the mole cricket family, Gryllotalpidae. Colombian insect taxonomist Oscar Cadena-Castañeda studied specimens of the genus that had been called Scapteriscus, and decided that it included two groups; a smaller group and a larger group that he named Neoscapteriscus in 2015. It is native to South America and also occurs in the Southern United States, where it arrived as a contaminant of ship's ballast around 1900. North American mole cricket taxonomists agreed with his decision and altered Orthoptera Species File Online accordingly.
Markia hystrix is a species of katydid in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It occurs in South America. A common name for it is lichen katydid because it lives surrounded by Usnea lichen on which it sustains itself.
The New Zealand mole cricket is a wingless member of the mole cricket family Gryllotalpidae. Endemic to New Zealand, it lives underground and is rarely seen. It is now restricted to parts of the southern North Island.
Montezumina is a genus of phaneropterine katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. There are at least 30 described species in Montezumina.
Quiva is a South American genus of bush cricket in the subfamily Phaneropterinae.
Anabropsini is a tribe of king crickets. The tribe comprises over 40 species, has a broad distribution in Old and New World tropics, including Asia, Africa, Oceania, Central America, and South America.
Orophus is a small genus of katydids native to Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Hyperbaeninae is a subfamily of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the family Gryllacrididae; Hyperbaenus ensifer is the type species. The known distribution includes tropical: central and southern America, Africa and mainland Asia to Australasia.
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.
Alota is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Gomphocerinae with species found in Bolivia and Colombia.
Neocurtilla is a genus of northern mole crickets in the family Gryllotalpidae. There are about seven described species in Neocurtilla, found parimarily in North, Central, and South America.
Metriogryllacris is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae, tribe Gryllacridini and the genus group Metriogryllacrae Cadena-Castañeda, 2019. The recorded distribution is currently: Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam and Java and Sulawesi in Malesia.
Apterolarnaca is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae, tribe Ametrini and genus group ApotrechaeCadena-Castañeda, 2019. Records of occurrence are from southern China and Vietnam.
