Pentacentrinae
Silent Litter Crickets
A subfamily of crickets (family Gryllidae) distributed across tropical Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Members are commonly known as 'Silent Litter Crickets,' though the basis for this common name is not explicitly documented in available sources. The subfamily comprises four recognized tribes (Aphemogryllini, Homalogryllini, Nemobiopsini, Pentacentrini) and several unplaced genera, including fossil taxa. The tribe Lissotrachelini was moved to Nemobiinae.
