This genus is distributed from the United States to Argentina , including the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Contains 37 species in four recently established subgenera ( Cigliano et al ., 2021 ). They are known by the common name of “Short-tailed cricket” because at least in the subgenus Anurogryllus , the ovipositor of females is very short and slightly exceeds the length of the subgenital plate ( Walker, 1973 ), females of the other subgenera have a welldeveloped ovipositor, sometimes exceeding the length of the hind femur ( Randell, 1964 ; Gorochov, 2019 ), discarding the ovipositor length as a generic character, as was the case in the past, and rather, it is the structure of the male genitalia which defines the genus ( Randell, 1964 ; García-Novo, 2002). Anurogryllus is very diverse since the range of its distribution has several gaps where in the future many species may be found since the distribution of its species is restricted (except Anurogryllus ( Anurogryllus ) muticus (De Geer, 1773)) and several examples are sympatric.
