Peringueyella is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Saginae with species found in Africa. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Peringueyella: [1]
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.
Bandwings, or band-winged grasshoppers are the subfamily Oedipodinae of grasshoppers classified under the family Acrididae. They have a worldwide distribution and were originally elevated to full family status as the Oedipodidae. Many species primarily inhabit xeric weedy fields, and some are considered to be important locusts:
Eumenes is the type genus of the subfamily Eumeninae of Vespidae. It is a large and widespread genus, with over 100 taxa, mostly occurring in the temperate portions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species are black or brown, and commonly marked with strikingly contrasting patterns of yellow, white, orange, or red. Like most vespids, their wings are folded longitudinally at rest. The first metasomal segment is narrow and elongated, creating a "bulbous" appearance to the abdomen.
Ameles is a wide-ranging genus of praying mantises represented in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Austroicetes is a genus in the subfamily Oedipodinae and family Acrididae. Members of the genus typically feed on grass and herbs.
Rivetina is a genus of praying mantises in the family Rivetinidae.
Panchlora is a genus of cockroaches.
Oedipoda is the type genus of grasshoppers, in the subfamily Oedipodinae. Species include the European "blue-winged grasshopper", Oedipoda caerulescens.
The Saginae, commonly known as the predatory katydids or predatory bush-crickets, is a subfamily of the family Tettigoniidae. They are mostly found in Europe, west and central Asia and southern Africa.
Acrotylus is a genus of grasshopper in the family Oedipodinae and the type genus of the tribe Acrotylini.
Saga is a genus of bush crickets or katydids containing around 15 species as of 2018. It is the only genus in the tribe Sagini and belongs to the subfamily Saginae. Species have been recorded from mainland Europe and western Asia.
Clonia is an African genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Saginae.
Epilampra is a genus of cockroach in the family Blaberidae. There are more than 70 described species in Epilampra.
Gonypeta is an Asian genus of praying mantids: in the subfamily Gonypetinae.
Gastrimargus is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oedipodinae. The recorded distribution of species in this genus includes Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
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.
The Nanomantidae are a new (2019) family of praying mantises, based on the type genus Nanomantis. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, genera and tribes have been moved here, substantially replacing the old family Iridopterygidae.
The Chroicopteridae are a new (2019) family of praying mantids, based on the type genus Chroicoptera. The name is derived from first use, for subfamily Chroicopterinae, by Giglio-Tos and it has been revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy. Some genera have also been moved here from the tribe Rivetinini, with others placed elsewhere including the subfamily Miomantinae.
Cloniella is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Saginae with species found in Africa.
