Paraphisis [1] is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Meconematinae.
Species in this genus are found in Australia and Papua New Guinea. [2]
The Catalogue of Life lists the following: [3]
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.
Stenopelmatidae is a family of large, mostly flightless orthopterans that includes the Jerusalem crickets. Two genera: Ammopelmatus and the type genus Stenopelmatus are found in the New World. Oryctopus and Sia are Old World genera, and previously placed in their own subfamilies, but with the addition of new genera, current placement is as five tribes in the single subfamily Stenopelmatinae.
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.
Gryllacridinae is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Gryllacrididae.
Meconematinae is a subfamily of the bush crickets, with a worldwide distribution.
Conocephalinae, meaning "conical head", is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae.
Agraeciini is a large tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the conehead subfamily, Conocephalinae.
Microtettigonia is a genus of bush-crickets or katydids, endemic to Western Australia and known as micro katydids. It is the only genus of the subfamily Microtettigoniinae.
Diabolocatantops is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae and tribe Catantopini. Species can be found in Africa, India, China and Indo-China.
Orthacris is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae and the subfamily Orthacridinae. Species are found in the Indian subcontinent including Sri Lanka.
Scambophyllum is a genus of bush cricket in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species can be found mostly in Indo-China and Malesia.
Xiphidiopsis is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Meconematinae. Species have been recorded from: India, China, Japan, Indochina, Malesia, and islands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific.
Tristria is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Tropidopolinae with species found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Isopsera is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species can be found in India, Indochina, Malesia and the Pacific Islands.
Alloteratura is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini. They are found in India, China, Indochina, and Malesia to New Guinea.
Paratettix curtipennis is a species of groundhopper which belongs to the subfamily Tetriginae and tribe Tetrigini. Its distribution includes: India, southern China, including Tawan, Indo-China and peninsular Malaysia; no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life or the Orthoptera Species File.
Rhytidogyne is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae.
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.
Neophisis is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Phisidini: in the subfamily Meconematinae.
Alectoria superba is a species of Australian bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Alectoria. The genus is placed in the genus group Ephippithytae; both genus and species were described in 1879 by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl.
