Thueringoedischiidae is an extinct family of long-horned Orthoptera. There are at least three genera and three described species in Thueringoedischiidae. [1] [2] [3]
These three genera belong to the family Thueringoedischiidae:
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 Caelifera are a suborder of orthopteran insects. They include the grasshoppers and grasshopper-like insects, as well as other superfamilies classified with them: the ground-hoppers (Tetrigoidea) and pygmy mole crickets (Tridactyloidea). The latter should not be confused with the mole crickets (Gryllotalpidae), which belong to the other Orthopteran sub-order Ensifera.
Grylloidea is the superfamily of insects, in the order Orthoptera, known as crickets. It includes the "true crickets", scaly crickets, wood crickets and other families, some only known from fossils.
Meganeuridae is an extinct family of griffinfly in the order Meganisoptera. There are more than 20 genera and 50 described species in Meganeuridae.
Xeniinae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Proscopiidae. Xeniinae has 3 genera, 2 extant and 1 extinct, and about 16 described species, found in South America.
Episactidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are about 19 genera and more than 60 described species in Episactidae, found in Central and South America, China, and Madagascar.
Morabidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are more than 40 genera and 120 described species in Morabidae, found in Australasia.
Mastacideidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and about eight described species in Mastacideidae, found in South Asia.
Euschmidtiidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are at least 60 genera and more than 240 described species in Euschmidtiidae, found in Sub-Saharan Africa and surrounding islands.
Eolocustopsidae is an extinct family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and two described species in Eolocustopsidae.
Locustavidae is an extinct family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are about 6 genera and 12 described species in Locustavidae, with fossils found in Australia, China, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.
Locustopsidae is an extinct family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are about 17 genera and more than 60 described species in Locustopsidae.
Anelcanidae is an extinct family of long-horned Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and two described species in Anelcanidae.
Protogryllidae is an extinct family of crickets in the order Orthoptera. There are about 8 genera and more than 20 described species in Protogryllidae.
Regiatidae is an extinct family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are at least three genera and four described species in Regiatidae.
Tcholmanvissiidae is an extinct family of Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and about eight described species in Tcholmanvissiidae.
Tettoedischiidae is an extinct family of Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and two described species in Tettoedischiidae.
Xyronotidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera. There are at least two genera and four described species in Xyronotidae.
Lissotrachelini is a tribe of anomalous crickets in the family Gryllidae. There are at least three genera and about nine described species in Lissotrachelini.
Wētā is the common name for a group of about 70 insect species in the families Anostostomatidae and Rhaphidophoridae, endemic to New Zealand. They are giant flightless crickets, and some are among the heaviest insects in the world. Generally nocturnal, most small species are carnivores and scavengers while the larger species are herbivorous. Wētā are preyed on by introduced mammals, and some species are now critically endangered.
