Gryllacrididae

TaxID: 41433

Basic Information

Gryllacrididae

Camel Crickets

Gryllacrididae are a family of non-jumping insects in the suborder Ensifera occurring worldwide, known commonly as leaf-rolling crickets or raspy crickets. The family historically has been broadly defined to include what are presently several other families, such as Stenopelmatidae ("Jerusalem crickets") and Rhaphidophoridae ("camel crickets"), now considered separate. As presently defined, the family contains two subfamilies: Gryllacridinae and Hyperbaeninae. They are commonly wingless and nocturnal. In the daytime, most species rest in shelters made from folded leaves sewn with silk. Some species use silk to burrow in sand, earth or wood. Raspy crickets evolved the ability to produce silk independently from other insects, but their silk has many convergent features to silkworm silk, being made of long, repetitive proteins with an extended beta-sheet structure.

Morphological Features

Family Gryllacrididae (raspy crickets) are orthopterans belonging to Stenopelmatoidea. Key taxonomic characters include the structure of the mandible and maxilla, a femoroabdominal stridulatory apparatus, the structure of the fastigium of the vertex, and the punctation and colour of the frons. The ocelli vary in size, shape, and texture. Male and female genitalia, including the sculpture of the ovipositor, provide detailed diagnostic features. Mouthparts bear several types of sensilla: multiporous smooth and ridged olfactory basiconic sensilla, coeloconic, coelosphaeric, placoid, and multipapilliform sensilla, as well as many trichoid sensilla and uniporous basiconic contact receptors.
