The Orthoptera Species File is a taxonomic database of the world's Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locusts, katydids and crickets), both living and fossil. It has full synonymic and taxonomic information for more than 25,880 valid species, 43,360 scientific names, 174,800 citations to 12,300 references, 73,000 images, 220 sound recordings, 83,000 specimen records, and keys to 2,860 taxa.
To see information contained in the database, use the links across the top of the
page. Click on
Search to find a specific taxon or other kinds of information. Clicking
on Taxa will make the

taxon in this session.
This website and database use Species File Software. Information about the
design and use of SFS may be found on a separate website.
