Tribe Cratomelini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888

Comments. This tribe was originally described as Cratomeli by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1888). Gorochov (1988), raised it to the family rank (Cratomelidae), including as subfamilies Cratomelinae and Anabropsinae ( Gorochov 1988, 1995). Sometime later, Johns (1997) established the family Anostostomatidae and proposed the status of a tribe to Cratomelini , including only Cratomelus . Gorochov (2001), in his classification of the superfamily Stenopelmatoidea , raised the rank to subfamily as Cratomelinae, and the same author rectifies his classification and returns this taxon to tribal status ( Gorochov 2020). Cratomelini , like the other suprageneric taxa of chevron crickets, usually start as a genus or tribe, passing as a subfamily and, in some cases reaching family status, due to differences in the perspective of the taxonomic status of the authors ( Cadena-Castañeda & Cortés-Torres 2013, Cadena-Castañeda & Weissman 2020, Gorochov & Cadena-Castañeda 2016, Johns & Hemp 2015).
