Natula [1] is a genus of sword-tail crickets in the tribe Trigonidiini. [2]
Species have been recorded from Europe through to SE Asia and Australia; they include: [2]
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 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.
The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include the cave wētā, cave crickets, camelback crickets, camel crickets, spider crickets and sand treaders. Those occurring in New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania are typically referred to as jumping or cave wētā. Most are found in forest environments or within caves, animal burrows, cellars, under stones, or in wood or similar environments. All species are flightless and nocturnal, usually with long antennae and legs. More than 1100 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described.
The family Gryllidae contains the subfamilies and genera which entomologists now term true crickets. They belong to the Orthopteran subfamily Ensifera, having long, whip-like antennae and has been reduced in terms of the older literature, with taxa such as the spider-crickets and allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets elevated to family level. The type genus is Gryllus and the first use of the family name "Gryllidae" was by Walker.
The Myrmecophilidae or ant-loving crickets are rarely encountered relatives of mole crickets, and are obligate inquilines within ant nests. They are very small, wingless, and flattened, so resemble small cockroach nymphs. The few genera contain fewer than 100 species. Ant crickets are yellow, brown, or nearly black in color. They do not produce sound, and lack both wings and tympanal organs ("ears") on the front tibia.
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.
Tettigoniidea is an infraorder of the order Orthoptera, with six extant families.
The Pteroplistinae comprise a subfamily of crickets, in the superfamily Grylloidea. Species are found in tropical Asia.
The infraorder Tridactylidea has a single extant superfamily which includes pygmy mole crickets; they are thought to represent living representatives of the most basal Caelifera: the Orthopteran suborder that includes grasshoppers.
The Orthopteran subfamily Aemodogryllinae contains about sixteen genera of camel crickets. It was named after AemodogryllusAdelung, 1902 - which is now considered a subgenus of Diestrammena.
Decma is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini: in the subfamily Meconematinae.
Grigoriora is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini: in the subfamily Meconematinae.
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 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.
The Landrevinae are a subfamily of crickets, in the family Gryllidae, based on the type genus Landreva. They are terrestrial, omnivorous and may be known as "bark crickets"; genera are distributed in: Central and South America, Africa, tropical Asia, Korea, Japan, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
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.
Hemitrullus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species can be found in Indo-China.
Noctitrella is a genus of crickets in the tribe Podoscirtini. Species have been recorded in: southern China and Indochina.
Parendacustes is a genus of crickets in the family Phalangopsidae, tribe Phalangopsini, subtribe Parendacustina. Species have been recorded from Indo-China, Malesia and New Guinea.
