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] |
Gryllotalpidae
Mole crickets are members of the insect family Gryllotalpidae, in the order Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets). Mole crickets are cylindrical-bodied, fossorial insects about long as adults, with small eyes and shovel-like fore limbs highly developed for burrowing. They are present in many parts of the world and where they have arrived in new regions, may become agricultural pests. Mole crickets have three life stages: eggs, nymphs, and adults. Most of their lives in these stages are spent underground, but adults have wings and disperse in the breeding season. They vary in their diet: some species are herbivores, mainly feeding on roots; others are omnivores, including worms and grubs in their diet; and a few are largely predatory. Male mole crickets have an exceptionally loud song; they sing from a burrow that opens out into the air in the shape of an exponential horn. The song is an almost pure tone, modulated into chirps. It is used to attract females, eithe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gryllotalpa Gryllotalpa
''Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa'', commonly known as the European mole cricket, is widespread in Europe and has been introduced to the eastern United States. The scientific name is derived from the Latin 'gryllus' meaning a cricket and 'talpa', a mole, and is descriptive because of the fine dense fur by which it is covered and its subterranean habits,ARKive.org: Gryllotalpa . Retrieved 14 May 2015 and because of the mole-like forelegs adapted for digging, a good example of . Description The body length is about 50 millimetres in males and 70 millimetres in females. The cricket is dark brown with a silky shimmer and yellowish underside and is cover ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ant Cricket
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 nymphs. The few genera contain fewer than 100 species. Ant crickets are yellow, brown, or nearly black in color. They do not produce sound, and lack both wings and tympanal organs ("ears") on the front tibia. Tribes and genera The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists two subfamilies: Bothriophylacinae Auth.: Miram, 1934; distribution: northern Africa, western Asia * tribe Bothriophylacini Miram, 1934 **'' Bothriophylax'' Miram, 1934 **'' Eremogryllodes'' Chopard, 1929 * tribe Microbothriophylacini Gorochov, 2017 **'' Microbothriophylax'' Gorochov, 1993 Myrmecophilinae Auth.: Saussure, 1874; distribution: global * tribe Myrmecophilini Saussure, 1874 **'' Myrmecophilus'' Berthold, 1827 **'' Myrmecophilellus'' Uvarov, 1940 * ''Incertae sedis ' () or ''problematica'' is ...

Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens for ranks up to fam ... [...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 Pseudomogoplistes squamiger, scaly crickets of Europe. Subfamilies, Tribes and selected Genera The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists the following: Malgasiinae Auth.: Gorochov 1984 *''Malgasia'' Uvarov, 1940 Mogoplistinae Auth.: Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl, Brunner von Wattenwyl 1873 ;tribe Arachnocephalini Gorochov 1984 #''Apterornebius'' Ingrisch, 2006 #''Arachnocephalus'' Achille Costa, Costa, 1855 #''Bothromogoplistes'' Gorochov, 2020 #''Cycloptiloides'' Bror Yngve Sjöstedt, Sjöstedt, 1909 #''Cycloptilum'' Samuel Hubbard Scudder, Scudder, 1869 #''Discophallus'' Gorochov, 2009 #''Ectatoderus'' Guérin-Méneville, 1847 #''Ornebius'' Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, Guérin-Méneville, 1844 #''P ...

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.
