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.

Phalangopsinae
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. Taxonomy Placement of Phalangopsinae and its genera has been controversial, with the group previously being placed family Gryllidae. The ''Orthoptera Species File'' currently lists the following tribes and genera: Endacustini Auth.: Gorochov, 1986; distribution: Australia and SW Pacific islands * '' Anendacusta'' Gorochov, 2003 * '' Discotathra'' Gorochov, 2003 * '' Endacusta'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1873 * '' Endotaria'' Chopard, 1951 * '' Itarotathra'' Gorochov, 2003 * '' Lucienia'' Gorochov, 1986 * '' Nesitathra'' Otte & Rentz, 1985 * '' Protathra'' Desutter-Grandcolas, 1997 * '' Pseudendacusta'' G ...

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 ...

Ensifera
Ensifera is a suborder of insects that includes the various types of crickets and their allies including: true crickets, camel crickets, bush crickets or katydids, grigs, weta and Cooloola monsters. This and the suborder Caelifera (grasshoppers and their allies) make up the order Orthoptera. Ensifera is believed to be a more ancient group than Caelifera, with its origins in the Carboniferous period, the split having occurred at the end of the Permian period. Unlike the Caelifera, the Ensifera contain numerous members that are partially carnivorous, feeding on other insects, as well as plants. ''Ensifer'' is Latin for "sword bearer", and refers to the typically elongated and blade-like ovipositor of the females. Characteristics Characteristics shared by the two orthopteran suborders, Caelifera and Ensifera, are the mouthparts adapted for biting and chewing, the modified prothorax, the hind legs modified for jumping, the wing shape and venation, and the sound-producing stridu ...

Cachoplistinae
The CachoplistinaeSaussure (1877) ''Mem. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve'' 25(1): 325. (on www.biodiversitylibrary.org). is a subfamily of crickets (Orthoptera: Ensifera) of the family Phalangopsidae; they are sometimes called beetle crickets. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in: Africa, tropical Asia, Korea and Japan. Nomenclature The names for this subfamily and the tribe Cachoplistini, are based on Saussure's (1877) genus "''Cachoplistus''" and priority for family-group names based on his use of "''Cachoplistites''". The agreed type genus is '' Cacoplistes'', but "Cacoplistinae" has been superseded; the first use of Cachoplistinae was by Chopard (1968). Tribes and Genera The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists two tribes The term tribe is used in many different contexts to refer to a category of human social group. The predominant worldwide usage of the term in English is in the discipline of anthropology. This definition is contested, ...
