Phalangopsinae, occasionally known as spider crickets, are a subfamily of crickets in the family Phalangopsidae.[1] Members of Phalangopsinae are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. Most species in the subfamily are nocturnal and can be found in rocky areas, near fallen wood, and the understory of forests.[2] Some species are gregarious, gathering in large numbers.

Taxonomy[]

Placement of Phalangopsinae and its genera has been controversial, with the group previously being placed family Gryllidae.[2] The Orthoptera Species File[1] currently lists the following tribes and genera:
