Dolichopoda is a genus of cave crickets in the tribe Dolichopodaini, subfamily Dolichopodainae. They are distributed in the Mediterranean basin in southern Europe and western Asia.[2]

The type species of the genus is Gryllus palpata, now known as Dolichopoda palpata.[3]

Species

There are over 50 described species.[2] The greatest species diversity occurs in Greece.[4] Four subgenera have been named, though some have been shown to be paraphyletic (Dolichopoda) or polyphyletic (Chopardina).[5]

Dolichopoda (Capraiacris) Baccetti, 1977

These two species lack spines on both the anterior tibiae and the hind femur.[4]

  • Dolichopoda aegilion Baccetti, 1977
  • Dolichopoda baccettii Capra, 1957
Dolichopoda (Chopardina) Uvarov, 1921

Found in Italy, Corsica, and Greece. Distinguished from other subgenera by having several spines on the hind femurs.[4]

Dolichopoda schiavazzii
  • Dolichopoda bormansi Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882
  • Dolichopoda cyrnensis Chopard, 1950
  • Dolichopoda lustriae Rampini & Di Russo, 2008
  • Dolichopoda muceddai Rampini & Di Russo, 2005
  • Dolichopoda remyi Chopard, 1934
  • Dolichopoda schiavazzii Capra, 1934
Dolichopoda (Dolichopoda) Bolívar, 1880

The largest subgenus by number of species; distinguished from the other subgenera by the spines on the anterior tibiae.[4]

Dolichopoda azami


Dolichopoda (Petrochilosina) Boudou-Saltet, 1980
  • Dolichopoda cassagnaui Boudou-Saltet, 1971
