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. Imms [3]): taxa such as the tree crickets, spider-crickets and their allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets have been ...
Grylloidea is the superfamily of insects, in the order Orthoptera, known as crickets.It includes the "true crickets", scaly crickets, wood crickets and many other subfamilies, now placed in six extant families; some genera are only known from fossils.
In older literature, such as Imms, [3] "crickets" were placed at the family level (i.e. Gryllidae), but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. [1] The word has been used in combination to describe more distantly related taxa [3] in the suborder Ensifera, such as king crickets and mole crickets.

Gryllus is a genus of field cricket (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Gryllinae). Members of the genus are typically 15–31 mm long and darkly coloured. [2] The type species is Gryllus campestris L.: the European field cricket.
The Gryllotalpoidea are a superfamily of insects that includes the mole crickets and the ant crickets. [1] The type genus is Gryllotalpa. [1] [2] [3]Recent (2015) molecular phylogenetic studies support the monophyly of the cricket clade (Gryllidea in the Orthoptera Species File [4]) and its subdivision into two clades: Gryllotalpidae and Myrmecophilidae on the one hand, and all the other ...

Gryllodes [1] is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been recorded in Australia, Asia, Africa (Ethiopia), central Europe, subtropical and tropical Americas. [2] The type species, Gryllodes sigillatus, may be called the tropical or Indian house cricket: a cosmopolitan species that is cultured for pet-food.
