The Oecanthidae are a recently (2022[1]) restored family of crickets based on the type genus Oecanthus Serville, 1831. They can be found in warmer parts of most of the world (not northern Europe, Canada or Antarctica).[2]

Origin and circumscription
editThe 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]
subfamily Euscyrtinae
editAuth: Gorochov, 1985; selected genera:
- Beybienkoana Gorochov, 1988
- Euscyrtodes Gorochov, 1987 - type genus
- Euscyrtus Guérin-Méneville, 1844
- Patiscus Stål, 1877
subfamily Oecanthinae
editAuth: 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:
- supertribe Diatrypidi Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988
- monotypic genus Diatrypa Saussure, 1874
- supertribe Oecanthidi Blanchard, 1845
- tribe Oecanthini Blanchard, 1845
- tribe Xabeini Vickery & Kevan, 1983
- unplaced genera
Auth: Saussure, 1878; : previously a subfamily group containing the “anomalous crickets”
- supertribe Hapithidi Gorochov, 1986
- tribe Aphonomorphini Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988
- tribe Cearacesaini Koçak & Kemal, 2010
- tribe Hapithini Gorochov, 1986
- tribe Phyllogryllini Campos, 2022
- supertribe Podoscirtidi Saussure, 1878
- tribe Aphonoidini Gorochov, 2008
- tribe Podoscirtini Saussure, 1878
- tribe Truljaliini Gorochov, 2020
- Tribe not placed, genera:
- †Allopterites Cockerell, 1920
- †Stenogryllodes Chopard, 1936
- no supertribe or tribe
- †Picogryllus Josse & Desutter-Grandcolas, 2023
Auth: Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988: previously incorporated in the Oecanthinae
- supertribe Paroecanthidi Gorochov, 1986
- tribe Neometrypini Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988
- tribe Paroecanthini Gorochov, 1986
- supertribe Tafaliscidi Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988
- tribe Tafaliscini Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988
- Tafalisca Walker, 1869 - type genus
