The Orthoptera Species File [2] lists:
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 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.
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.
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.
The Phaneropterinae, the sickle-bearing bush crickets or leaf katydids, are a subfamily of insects within the family Tettigoniidae. Nearly 2,060 species in 85 genera throughout the world are known. They are also known as false katydids or round-headed katydids.
Diestrammena is a 'camel' or 'cave-cricket' genus in the family Rhaphidophoridae. Species in the genus are native to Asia, including Japan.
Gryllacridinae is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Gryllacrididae.
Larnaca is an Asian genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets', in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Gryllacridini. Species have been recorded from: southern China, Indochina and western Malesia.
Trigonidium is a large genus of sword-tail crickets, typical of the tribe Trigonidiini. Records of occurrence are from Europe, Africa, tropical Asia, Australia and the Pacific islands; many species endemic to Pacific islands including Hawaii have now been placed in the genus Nudilla.
Lipotactes is a genus of bush cricket found in southern China, Indo-China and Malesia.
Elimaea is a large genus within Tettigoniidae, the bush cricket or katydid family. Species in this genus are found in India, southern China, Indo-China and Malesia.
Orthelimaea is a genus of Asian bush crickets in the tribe Elimaeini within the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species in this genus are found in India, Indo-China, and Malesia.
Hemielimaea is a genus of Asian bush crickets found in Indochina and China.
Apteranabropsis is a genus of king crickets in the tribe Anabropsini. They are found in China and Vietnam. The genus was first erected in 1988.
Rhaphidophora is the type genus of camel crickets in the tribe Rhaphidophorini.
Gryllacris is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the family Gryllacridinae. It is the type genus for the family, tribe Gryllacridini and its subfamily.
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.
Hyperbaenus is a genus of South American Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the family Gryllacridinae. It is the type genus for its tribe Hyperbaenini and the new subfamily Hyperbaeninae.
Phryganogryllacris is an Asian genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets', in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Phryganogryllacridini. Species have been recorded from: India, China, Indochina, Malesia, through to New Guinea.
Melaneremus is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Gryllacridini. The recorded distribution is: the Indian subcontinent, China, Indochina, western Malesia and western Pacific islands.
Neanias is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Gryllacridini. The recorded distribution is: Indian subcontinent, Japan, Hainan, Indochina, and western Malesia (Sumatra).
