Tetrigidae
Tetrigidae is an ancient family in the order Orthoptera, which also includes similar families such as crickets, grasshoppers, and their allies. Species within the Tetrigidae are variously called groundhoppers, pygmy grasshoppers,Borror DJ, Tripplehorn CA, Johnson NF (1989) An Introduction to the Study of Insects, 6th edition. Harcourt Brace College Publishers. New York. pg 213 pygmy devils or (mostly historical) "grouse locusts".Imms AD, rev. Richards OW & Davies RG (1970) ''A General Textbook of Entomology'' 9th Ed. Methuen 886 pp. Diagnostic characteristics Tetrigidae are typically less than 20 mm in length and are recognizable by a long pronotum. This pronotum extends over the length of the abdomen, sometimes to the tip of the wings, and ends in a point. In other Orthoptera, the pronotum is short and covers neither the abdomen nor the wings. Tetrigidae are generally cryptic in coloration. Some species have enlarged pronota that mimic leaves, stones or twigs. Other cha ...

Arulenus
''Arulenus'' is a genus of pygmy grasshopper. , it consists of two species: * '' Arulenus miae'' * '' Arulenus validispinus'' Both species are endemic to Mindanao in the Philippines. Description Characteristic features of this genus include: the lack of tegmina and of alae, a smooth pronotum with large, slightly wrinkled spines on its discus, and outwardly turned lateral paranotal lobes. Taxonomic history Carl Stål circumscribed ''Arulenus'' in 1877 for the species ''A. validispinus'' and ''A. punctatus'', which Stål described in the same paper. In 1887, Ignacio Bolívar Ignacio Bolívar y Urrutia (9 November 1850, Madrid – 19 November 1944, Mexico City) was a Spanish naturalist and entomologist, and one of the founding fathers of Spanish entomology. He helped found the ''Real Sociedad Española de Histor ... transferred ''A. punctatus'' to its own, new genus '' Hirrius'', giving it the name '' Hirrius punctatus''. ''Arulenus'' would be considered a monospec ...
