Acrididae, commonly called short-horned grasshoppers, 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 grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera.

Frederick Everard Zeuner, FZS was a German palaeontologist and geological archaeologist who was a contemporary of Gordon Childe at the Institute of Archaeology of the University of London. Zeuner proposed a detailed scheme of correlation and dating of European climatic and prehistoric cultural events on the basis of Milankovitch cycles. He also worked on Orthopteran insects, with the bush cricket genus Zeuneriana named after him.
Bicolorana is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Tettigoniinae and tribe Platycleidini. Species can be found in many parts of mainland Europe, through central Asia to the Korean peninsula.
Roeseliana is a genus of bush cricket or katydid in the subfamily Tettigoniinae. Species in this genus were placed at various times in the genera Metrioptera and Bicolorana, until Roeseliana was restored in 2011, with these and other similar genera placed in genus group Metrioptera.
Poecilimon is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and tribe Barbitistini. Species can be found in: central and Southeast Europe, the south of the European part of the former USSR, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, the Caucasus, Persia and extends in Central Asia to the Altai mountains.

Montana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini, erected by F.E. Zeuner in 1941. The type species, M. montana has been called the "Steppe Bush-Cricket". Some authorities previously placed this as a subgenus of Platycleis, but it is now considered a separate genus, as part of the genus group Platycleis. Species can be found in the northern Palaearctic realm from mainland western Europe through to Siberia.
Parnassiana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini and genus group Platycleis, erected by F. E. Zeuner in 1941. Species have been called "Greek bush-crickets" and members of this genus have been recorded mostly from that country.
Incertana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini, erected by erected by F. E. Zeuner in 1941. Species have been recorded from: North Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the Himalayas. Placed in genus group Platycleis, literature on the type species and others often refers to that genus.
Broughtonia is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini. It was first erected as the subgenus Metrioptera (Broughtonia) by K. Harz in 1969 and subsequently elevated to genus level in 2011. Species have been recorded from eastern Europe, with most records from the Balkans through to Romania and Bulgaria.
Vichetia is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini. It was first erected as the subgenus Metrioptera (Vichetia) by K. Harz in 1969 and subsequently elevated to genus level in 2011: belonging to neither the Metrioptera nor the Platycleis genus groups.
Modestana is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini, erected by M. Beier in 1955. Species can be found in South-eastern Europe, with most records from Italy, the Balkans and Greece.
