Neoscapteriscus
mole crickets
Neoscapteriscus is a genus of two-clawed mole crickets (Gryllotalpidae) containing at least 23 described species. Members are subterranean insects with fossorial forelegs adapted for tunneling. Several species are significant turfgrass and pasture pests in the Americas, including the tawny mole cricket (N. vicinus) and southern mole cricket (N. borellii). The genus was established by Cadena-Castañeda in 2015, separating these species from the related genus Scapteriscus.
