Family of crickets From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oecanthidae are a recently (2022[1]) restored family of crickets based on the type genus Oecanthus Serville, 1831. They include "tree crickets", "anomalous crickets" and "bush crickets" (American usage) and can be found in warmer parts of most of the world (not the northern Palaearctic, Nearctic or Antarctica).[2]

The family and lower taxonomic names are based on "Oecanthites" used by Émile Blanchard in 1845,[3] with the first use as Oecanthidae by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1873.[4] Campos et al. (2022)[1] provide a key to the four subfamilies and tribes.[2]
Auth: Gorochov, 1985; selected genera:
Auth: Blanchard, 1845: the tree crickets which are delicate white or pale green insects with transparent fore wings.[5] Three tribes are now placed in two supertribes:
Auth: Saussure, 1878; : previously a subfamily group containing the "anomalous crickets"
Auth: Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988: previously incorporated in the Oecanthinae
