Taxonomic scope

The website contains information on Orthoptera sensu stricto, Caelifera (grasshoppers and groundhoppers) and Ensifera (crickets and bushcrickets). The basis for the taxonomic databases is the list of Fauna Europaea (Heller 2004). Some new taxa have been added and in a few cases a different view has been adapted (e.g. Pterolepis/Rhacocleis).
