Pentacentrinae
Pentacentrinae is a subfamily of crickets in the family Gryllidae. Sometimes known as 'Silent Litter Crickets', they occur in tropical Asia, Africa and the Americas. The tribe Lissotrachelini Hubbell, 1938 has been moved to the Nemobiinae. Tribes and Genera These genera, in four tribes, belong to the subfamily Pentacentrinae: Aphemogryllini Distribution: south America # ''Aphemogryllus'' Rehn, 1918 ;Homalogryllini Distribution: Sri Lanka # ''Homalogryllus'' Chopard, 1925 Nemobiopsini Authority: Hubbell, 1938 # ''Nemobiopsis'' Bolívar, 1890 - central America # ''Pendleburyella'' Chopard, 1969 - west Malesia Pentacentrini Distribution: Africa, Asia, Australia # ''Apentacentrus'' Chopard, 1934 # ''Orthoxiphus'' Saussure, 1899 # ''Pentacentrodes'' Bolívar, 1910 # ''Pentacentrus'' Saussure, 1878 tribe not placed # ''Trigonidomimus'' Caudell, 1912 # ''Velapia'' Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009 # † ''Eopentacentrus'' Gorochov, 2010 # † ''Grossoxipha'' Vickery & Poinar, 1994 # † ' ...

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.

Pentacentrus
''Pentacentrus'' is an Asian genus of crickets, typical of the tribe Pentacentrini and subfamily Pentacentrinae; these names are based on "Pentacentrites" coined by Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure (; ; 27 November 1829 – 20 February 1905) was a Swiss mineralogist and entomologist specialising in studies of Hymenoptera and Orthopteroid insects. He also was a prolific taxonomist. Biography Sauss ... in 1878.de Saussure HLF (1878) ''Mem. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve'' 25(2): 39(available at www.biodiversitylibrary.org). Species in this genus have been recorded from: China, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Malesia and northern Australia (distribution is probably incomplete). Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists: # '' Pentacentrus acuminatus'' Chopard, 1930 # '' Pentacentrus acutiparamerus'' Liu & Shi, 2014 # '' Pentacentrus annulicornis'' Chopard, 1929 # '' Pentacentrus biflexuous'' Liu & Shi, 2014 # '' Pentacentrus birmanus ...

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] |
Trigonidomimus
''Trigonidomimus'' is a genus of anomalous crickets in the family Gryllidae. There are about five described species in ''Trigonidomimus'' recorded from the Americas The Americas, which are sometimes collectively called America, are a landmass comprising the totality of North and South America. The Americas make up most of the land in Earth's Western Hemisphere and comprise the New World. Along with th ....
