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 ...

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' ...
