Stenopelmatidae
The family Stenopelmatidae is composed of large, mostly flightless insects resembling crickets (the family Gryllidae). Two genera: ''Ammopelmatus'' and the type genus ''Stenopelmatus'' are found in the New World. ''Oryctopus'' and ''Sia'' are Old World genera, and previously placed in their own subfamilies (see below), but with the addition of new genera, current placement is as five tribes in the single subfamily Stenopelmatinae. Classification The classification and constituency of Stenopelmatidae is an ongoing source of controversy, with different authorities proposing radically different arrangements. Until recently, the majority of researchers appeared to accept a major New World lineage as the subfamily Stenopelmatinae, with smaller Old World lineages and fossil groups also treated as subfamilies.Vandergast, A.G., Weissman, D.B., Wood, D.A., Rentz, D.C., Bazelet, C.S., and Ueshima, N.

Ammopelmatus
''Ammopelmatus'' is a genus of insects in the family Stenopelmatidae, one of two genera of large, flightless insects referred to commonly as Jerusalem crickets (or "potato bugs"). They are native to southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Classification There are 20 species recognized as valid in the genus ''Ammopelmatus'', as presently recognized; 17 of these species were formerly placed in the genus ''Stenopelmatus''.D.B.

Stenopelmatinae
Stenopelmatinae is the sole subfamily in the family Stenopelmatidae. There are about 7 genera and more than 50 described species in Stenopelmatinae. The species of this subfamily found in the New World are called Jerusalem crickets, making up the genera ''Ammopelmatus'' and ''Stenopelmatus''. These were formerly the only genera of this subfamily, and now make up the tribe Stenopelmatini. Old World species have also been referred to as Jerusalem crickets in recent years, as well as sand crickets and stone crickets. Tribes and Genera The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists five tribes in the subfamily Stenopelmatinae: Monotypic tribes * ''Maxentius'' Stål, 1876 (sub-Saharan Africa) * ''Oryctopterus'' Karny, 1937 (India, Sri Lanka) * ''Oryctopus'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888 (India, Sri Lanka) Siini # † '' Electrosia'' Gorochov, 2010 (Baltic amber) # ''Sia'' Giebel, 1861 (Malaysia, Indonesia) Stenopelmatini # ''Ammopelmatus'' Tinkham, 1965 (North America) - Jerusalem crickets # '' ...

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] |
Stenopelmatus ''Stenopelmatus'' is one of two genera of large, flightless insects referred to commonly as Jerusalem crickets (or "potato bugs").
