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.

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.
