Phalangacris [1] is a genus of crickets (Orthoptera: Ensifera) in the family Phalangopsidae, tribe Phalangopsini, subtribe Heterogryllina. Both species are found in the Indian Ocean islands including the Seychelles.
The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists:
The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.
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:
Tetrigidae is an ancient family in the order Orthoptera, which also includes similar families such as crickets, grasshoppers, and their allies. Species within the Tetrigidae are variously called groundhoppers, pygmy grasshoppers, pygmy devils or "grouse locusts".
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.
Chorotypidae is a family of tropical Asian grasshoppers, formerly included within the family Eumastacidae. These grasshoppers have a head that rises above the level of the thorax and short antennae. Some species have reduced wings, others have wings that widen towards the tips and still others have a flattened leaf-like shape. They lack abdominal tympani.
Vitalisia is a species of grasshoppers in the subfamily Acridinae, with no tribe assigned. Two species have been recorded from Indochina from Bangladesh to peninsular Malaysia.
The Ommexechidae are a family of grasshoppers, in the Orthoptera: suborder Caelifera. Species in this family can be found in the Americas.
The Eyprepocnemidinae are a subfamily of Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Species can be found in Africa, mainland Europe and Asia.
The Hemiacridinae are a subfamily of Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Species can be found in Africa, and Asia.
The Orthacridinae are a sub-family of grasshoppers in the family Pyrgomorphidae. Species are found in: Central America, Africa, Asia, Australia and certain Pacific Islands. The type genus is Orthacris and the taxon proposed by Bolívar in 1905.
Epistaurus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Coptacrinae.
Nicephora is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini in the subfamily Meconematinae. They are found in India, Sri Lanka, southern China, and Vietnam.
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".
Xenogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae, subfamily Eneopterinae and tribe Xenogryllini. Species have been found in Africa and Asia.
Fer is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae, not assigned to any tribe. Species can be found in southern China and Vietnam.
Tripetaloceroides is a genus of ground-hoppers in the subfamily Tripetalocerinae and tribe Tripetalocerini Bolívar, 1887 found in Asia.
Systella is an Asian genus of grasshoppers in the family Trigonopterygidae. Species can be found from subcontinental India, through Indo-China and Malesia to New Guinea.
Odontura is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and typical of the tribe Odonturini. Species can be found in Africa and Europe.
Homoeoxipha is a genus of "sword-tail crickets", in the subfamily Trigonidiinae and the tribe Trigonidiini.
