Gryllidea
GryllideaKevan DKM (1982) In Parker d. ''Synopsis and Classification of Living Organisms'' 2: 361. is an infraorder that includes crickets and similar insects in the order Orthoptera. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea. Superfamilies and Families The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists the following families in the infraorder Gryllidea: Grylloidea * † Baissogryllidae Gorochov, 1985 * Gryllidae Laicharting, 1781 (sometimes called "true crickets") * Mogoplistidae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1873 (scaly crickets) * Phalangopsidae Blanchard, 1845 * Protogryllidae Zeuner, 1937 * Trigonidiidae Saussure, 1874 * Family unplaced ** Pteroplistinae ** genus †'' Bellosichnus'' Genise & Sánchez, 2017 Gryllotalpoidea * Gryllotalpidae Mole crickets are members of the insect family Gryllotalpidae, in the order Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets).

Gryllotalpoidea
The Gryllotalpoidea are a superfamily of insects that includes the mole crickets and the ant crickets. The type genus is ''Gryllotalpa''. Recent (2015) molecular phylogenetic studies support the monophyly of the cricket clade (Gryllidea in the ''Orthoptera Species File'') and its subdivision into two clades: Gryllotalpidae and Myrmecophilidae on the one hand, and all the other crickets (''i.e.'' crickets ''sensu stricto'': seven monophyletic clades, including the scaly crickets Mogoplistidae and Gryllidae). Families and subfamilies The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists the following families and subfamilies: * Gryllotalpidae Leach, 1815 - mole crickets ** Gryllotalpinae Leach, 1815 ** † Marchandiinae Gorochov, 2010 ** Scapteriscinae Zeuner, 1939 * Myrmecophilidae The Myrmecophilidae or ant-loving crickets are rarely encountered relatives of mole crickets, and are obligate inquilines within ant nests. They are very small, wingless, and flattened, so resemble small cockroach n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crickets
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. In older literature, such as Imms,Imms AD, rev. Richards OW & Davies RG (1970) ''A General Textbook of Entomology'' 9th Ed. Methuen 886 pp. "crickets" were placed at the family level (''i.e.'' Gryllidae), but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. The word has been used in combination to describe more distantly related taxa in the suborder Ensifera, such as king crickets and mole crickets. Crickets have mainly cylindrically-shaped bodies, round heads, and long antennae. Behind the head is a smooth, robust pronotum. The abdomen ends in a pair of long cerci; females have a long, cylindrical ovipositor. Diagnostic features include legs with 3-segmented tarsi; as with many Orthoptera, the hind legs have enlarged femora, providing power for jumping. The front wings are adapted as tough, leathery elytra, and some crickets ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grylloidea
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. Grylloidea dates from the Triassic period and contains about 3,700 known living species in some 528 genera, as well as 43 extinct species and 27 extinct genera. Characteristics The features which distinguish crickets in the superfamily Grylloidea from other Ensiferans are long, thread-like antennae, three tarsal segments, slender tactile cerci at the tip of the abdomen and bulbous sensory bristles on the cerci. They are the only insects to share this combination of characteristics. The term cricket is popularly used for any cricket-like insect in the order Ensifera, being applied to the ant crickets, bush crickets (Tettigoniidae), Jerusalem crickets (''Stenopelmatus''), mole crickets, camel crickets and cave crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) and wētā (Anostostomatidae), and the re ...

Orthoptera
Orthoptera () is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts, and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives. More than 20,000 species are distributed worldwide. The insects in the order have incomplete metamorphosis, and produce sound (known as a "stridulation") by rubbing their wings against each other or their legs, the wings or legs containing rows of corrugated bumps. The tympanum, or ear, is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and bush crickets or katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the grasshoppers and locusts. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals. Grasshoppers and other orthopterans are able to fold their wings (i.e. they are members of Neoptera).

Gryllidae
The family ''Gryllidae'' contains the subfamilies and genera which entomologists now term true crickets. Having long, whip-like antennae, they belong to the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera, which has been greatly reduced in the last 100 years (''e.g.'' ImmsImms AD, rev. Richards OW & Davies RG (1970) ''A General Textbook of Entomology'' 9th Ed. Methuen 886 pp.): taxa such as the spider-crickets and allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets have been elevated to family level. The type genus is ''Gryllus'' and the first use of the family name "Gryllidae" was by Walker. They have a worldwide distribution (except Antarctica). The largest members of the family are the -long bull crickets (''Brachytrupes'') which excavate burrows a metre or more deep. The tree crickets (Oecanthinae) are delicate white or pale green insects with transparent fore wings, while the field crickets (Gryllinae) are robust brown or black insects. Subfamilies The family is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mogoplistidae
Mogoplistidae is a family of scaly crickets within the superfamily Grylloidea. Considered to be monophyletic, a sister taxon to the Gryllidae crickets. This family consists of more than 370 species worldwide; 20 species in 4 genera occur in North America and this family includes the scaly crickets of Europe.

Phalangopsidae
The Phalangopsidae are a recently reconstituted family of crickets (Orthoptera: Ensifera), based on the type genus '' Phalangopsis'' Serville, 1831 from South America. Priority for family-group names based on this genus dates from Blanchard's "''Phalangopsites''".Blanchard E (1845) ''Histoire des Insectes, leurs moeurs, leurs métamorphoses et leur classification'', Vol. 2. Paris: Didot. Distribution Species in this family are widely distributed, especially southern Hemisphere (i.e. continents excluding Europe, most of N. America and Antarctica). These terrestrial Orthoptera, like the majority of crickets, tend to thrive in tropical or subtropical environments. Subfamilies, Tribes and selected Genera The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists: ;subfamily Cachoplistinae Saussure, 1877 – Africa, Asia * tribe Cachoplistini Saussure, 1877 ** '' Cacoplistes'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1873 * Homoeogryllini Gorochov, 1986 ** '' Homoeogryllus'' Guérin-Méneville, 1847 ** '' Meloimorpha' ...
