Tympanophora is a genus of bush-crickets, known as balloon-winged katydids, found in Australia. [1] It is the only extant (living) genus in the subfamily Tympanophorinae. [2]
The genus contains the following species: [1]
Cooloola is a genus of ensiferan orthopterans known as Cooloola monsters. It is the only genus in the subfamily Cooloolinae and family Cooloolidae of the superfamily Stenopelmatoidea.
The Phasmatidae are a family of the stick insects. They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea.
Caconemobius is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Nemobiinae. There are about 15 species distributed from the Pacific coasts of Asia to Hawaii, where they occur in marine environments on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
Phasmodes, known as stick katydids, is a genus of insects in the family Tettigoniidae and the only genus within the subfamily Phasmodinae. It contains the following species:
Zaprochilus, the twig-mimicking katydids, is a genus of katydids in the subfamily Zaprochilinae. They are found in Australia. The genus Zaprochilus contains the following species:
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.
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.
Hexacentrus is the type genus of bush-crickets in the subfamily Hexacentrinae. Most species of this genus occur in Southeast Asia and in Africa.
Gryllacridinae is an Orthopteran subfamily in the family Gryllacrididae.
Acilacris is a genus of shieldback katydids in the subfamily Meconematinae, found in southern Africa. It contains two subgenera, Acilacris and Aroegas, and nine species:
Agraeciini is a large tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the conehead subfamily, Conocephalinae.
The Hexacentrinae, are a subfamily of predatory bush crickets or katydids. The type genus is Hexacentrus, which are also known as balloon-winged katydids. The group has sometimes been treated as a tribe within Conocephalinae, which may be a sister group. Members of this subfamily have lobules on the male paraprocts. Most of them also have a flat, wide hind lobe of the pronotum.
Paraphisis is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Meconematinae.
Microtettigonia is a genus of bush-crickets or katydids, endemic to Western Australia and known as micro katydids. It is the only genus of the subfamily Microtettigoniinae.
Austrosaginae, the sluggish katydids, are a subfamily of Australian insects within the family Tettigoniidae.
The Tympanophorinae is a subfamily of bush-crickets, sometimes called balloon-winged bush-crickets, found in Australia.
The Listroscelidinae are a subfamily of the Tettigoniidae found in the Americas, Madagascar, and Australia.
Anabropsini is a tribe of king crickets. The tribe comprises over 40 species, has a broad distribution in Old and New World tropics, including Asia, Africa, Oceania, Central America, and South America.
Tettigoides is an extinct genus of katydids comprising a single species, Tettigoides pectinata. It is the only genus and species in the subfamily Tettigoidinae.
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 Australasia.
