Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids, or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
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.
Panoploscelis is a genus of very large insects belonging to the true katydid tribe Eucocconotini, which is a subfamily of the katydids. Like the other members of the suborder Ensifera, Panoploscelis are part of the insect order Orthoptera, which also contains crickets, grasshoppers and locusts. Members of this genus are among the largest katydids of the Neotropics.
Onomarchus is a genus of bush crickets or katydids found mainly distributed in the tropical forests of Asia. Like many other members of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae, their wings appear very leaf-like.
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.
Pyrgacris descampsi is a species of insect, belonging to the family of Pyrgacrididae.
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.
Phymateus aegrotus, sometimes called the blue bush locust or East African bush locust, is a pest species of grasshopper in the family Pyrgomorphidae. Unlike "locusts" the adults are not known to change their morphology on crowding, but at the hopper stage, marching behaviour of small bands may occur.
Schochia Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895, is an extant genus of South American bush-cricket in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
Pterophylla camellifolia, the common true katydid, is a common North American insect in the family Tettigoniidae (katydids). Within the Tettigoniidae, it belongs to the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Other common names include northern true katydid and rough-winged katydid.
The Pterochrozinae are a subfamily of the Tettigoniidae found in Central and South America. They were previously placed as a tribe in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae and have been called "leaf-mimic katydids".
Olcinia is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Pseudophyllinae and tribe Cymatomerini. They are found in tropical forest regions of Indo-China and Malesia.
Gryllotalpa septemdecimchromosomica is a species of mole cricket, in the G. gryllotalpa species group, found in Spain and France: where it may be known as le courtillière Provençale. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
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.
Callimenellus is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. It is the sole genus in the tribe Callimenellini.
Phyllomimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae; species have been recorded from India, China, Indochina and Malesia.
Hemigyrus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Species have been recorded from: southern China and Indo-China.
Paramorsimus is an Asian genus of bush-crickets in the tribe Phyllomimini and the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.; species have been recorded from India, Indochina (Vietnam) and Malesia.
Paraducetia is a genus of Asian bush crickets that belong to the subfamily Phaneropterinae and the tribe Ducetiini. The two known species have been recorded from southern China and Indo-China.
Phymateus karschi is a locust in the family Pyrgomorphidae.
