Oecanthus is a genus of cricket in subfamily Oecanthinae, the tree crickets.
The Orthoptera Species File [1] lists:
Ensifera is a suborder of insects that includes the various types of crickets and their allies including: true crickets, camel crickets, bush crickets or katydids, grigs, weta and Cooloola monsters. This and the suborder Caelifera make up the order Orthoptera. Ensifera is believed to be a more ancient group than Caelifera, with its origins in the Carboniferous period, the split having occurred at the end of the Permian period. Unlike the Caelifera, the Ensifera contain numerous members that are partially carnivorous, feeding on other insects, as well as plants.
Dolbear's law states the relationship between the air temperature and the rate at which crickets chirp. It was formulated by Amos Dolbear and published in 1897 in an article called "The Cricket as a Thermometer". Dolbear's observations on the relation between chirp rate and temperature were preceded by an 1881 report by Margarette W. Brooks, although this paper went unnoticed until after Dolbear's publication.
Tree crickets are insects of the order Orthoptera. These crickets are in the subfamily Oecanthinae of the family Gryllidae. This subfamily contains nine genera.
Oecanthus rufescens, known as the striped tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket from Asia.
Oecanthus pellucens, common name Italian tree cricket, is a species of tree crickets belonging to the family Gryllidae, subfamily Oecanthinae.
Grylloidea is the superfamily of insects, in the order Orthoptera, known as crickets. It includes the "true crickets", scaly crickets, wood crickets and other families, some only known from fossils.
The cohort Polyneoptera is a proposed taxonomic ranking for the Orthoptera and all other Neopteran insects believed to be more closely related to Orthoptera than to any other insect orders. These winged insects, now in the Paraneoptera, were formerly grouped as the Hemimetabola or Exopterygota on the grounds that they have no metamorphosis, the wings gradually developing externally throughout the nymphal stages.
Oecanthus nigricornis is a "common tree cricket" in the subfamily Oecanthinae. A common name for O. nigricornis is black-horned tree cricket. It is found in North America.
Oecanthus exclamationis is a "common tree cricket" in the subfamily Oecanthinae. A common name for O. exclamationis is Davis' tree cricket. It is found in North America.
Gryllidea is an infraorder that includes crickets and similar insects in the order Orthoptera. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea.
Oecanthus varicornis, the different-horned tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1869 and is found in Central and North America.
Oecanthus argentinus, the prairie tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America and South America.
Oecanthus pini, the pine tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America.
Oecanthus californicus, the western tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America.
Oecanthus celerinictus, the fast-calling tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America.
Oecanthus rileyi, known generally as the Riley's tree cricket or pine tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America.
Oecanthus niveus, known generally as the narrow-winged tree cricket or snowy tree cricket, is a species of tree cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America and the Caribbean.
Oecanthus dulcisonans is a species of cricket sparsely but widely distributed in the Mediterranean Basin and in the Middle East.
Diaphanogryllacris is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Hyperbaeninae and tribe Capnogryllacridini. The recorded distribution is: the Indian subcontinent, China, Indochina, western Malesia up to Sulawesi.
