Plebeiogryllus [1] is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been found in the Indian subcontinent, southern China, Indo-China and the Philippines. [2]
Plebeiogryllus includes the following species: [2]
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:
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.
Hipoepa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is sometimes considered to be a synonym of Polypogon.
Teleogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae. Species can be found in: Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific islands.
The Eneopterinae are a subfamily of crickets, in the family Gryllidae, based on the type genus Eneoptera. It is one of several groups widely described as "true crickets". Of the more than 500 species that make up this subfamily, most occur in moist, tropical habitats. These insects are medium to large and brown or gray in color. They eat plant leaves, flowers, and fruits and can occasionally cause economic damage. Their eggs are deposited in pith, bark, or wood. Eneopterinae show a great diversity in stridulatory apparatus, signals emitted, and associated behaviour.
Cyphononyx is a genus of spider hunting wasps in the family Pompilidae.
Anurogryllus, commonly known as short-tailed crickets, is a genus of crickets in the tribe Gryllini; species are recorded from the Americas.. The common and scientific names derive from the vestigial, poorly developed ovipositors of females.
Acanthoplistus is a genus of crickets in the tribe Gryllini; species are recorded from west Africa, with a discontinuous presence in India and Indo-China.
Loxoblemmus is a genus of crickets in tribe Gryllini. Species can be found in Africa, Asia and Australia.
Gymnogryllus is a genus of crickets in family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species are recorded from Africa, Asia and Australia.
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.
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.
Tarbinskiellus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species can be found in Asia.
Vietacheta is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species can be found in southern China and Vietnam.
Gryllodes is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been recorded in Australia, Asia, Africa (Ethiopia), central Europe, subtropical and tropical Americas.
Velarifictorus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been recorded in Australia, Asia, Africa and the southeastern US.
Phonarellus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species can be found in mainland Asia, Japan and tropical Africa.
Mimicogryllus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been found in Indo-China and Borneo.
Patiscus is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Euscyrtinae. Species can be found in Asia, with records from India, China, Indo-China, the Philippines and New Guinea.
