Olcinia [1] is a genus of bush crickets [2] in the sub-family Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are found in tropical forest regions of Indo-China and Malesia.
Olcinia bush crickets are somewhat similar to another Asian genus Sathrophyllia but have relatively wrinkled margin to their fore-wings. They typically have cryptic colouration and likewise sit close to branches of trees and bushes, spreading their legs and antennae along the branch, close to the surface to provide camouflage.
The Orthoptera Species file [3] lists the following:
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.
Tegra novaehollandiae is a species of bush crickets in the tribe Cymatomerini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae; it is native to tropical Asia.
Sathrophyllia is a genus of Asian bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are usually found on the branches of bushes or trees where they sit close to a branch and spread out their forelegs and antennae along the branch and hold themselves close to the surface with their middle pair of legs. Some species like S. rugosa have cryptic colouration that matches the bark making them very hard to spot. Further east, the genus Olcinia also bears a close resemblance, however Sathrophyllia has a relatively smooth margin to the forewing unlike that of Olcinia.
Mecopodinae, the long-legged katydids, are a subfamily of bush crickets found in western South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. In Asia, the distribution includes India, Indochina, Japan, the Philippines, and Malesia to Papua New Guinea and Australasia, including many Pacific islands.
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.
The Phyllophorinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets or katydids, found in tropical Asia and Australia.
Segestes is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Mecopodinae and tribe Sexavaini.
Scambophyllum is a genus of bush cricket in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species can be found mostly in Indo-China and Malesia.
Sanaa is a genus of bush-crickets found in India, Indo-China and Malesia. It belongs to the tribe Cymatomerini within the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. It may be confused with the genus Parasanaa, which has a similar distribution in Asia.
Sanaa intermedia is a species of bush-crickets, found in Indo-China. It belongs to the tribe Cymatomerini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae, with no subspecies listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Chloracris is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Pseudophyllini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
Phyllomimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
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.
Tegra is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Cymatomerini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
Rhytidogyne is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
Liara is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
Pseudorhynchus is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Copiphorini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
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".
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.
Phyllophora is a genus of bush cricket typical of the subfamily Phyllophorinae. Species have been recorded from: Sri Lanka, peninsular Malaysia, Malesia and Australia.
