The recent increase in interest in the biology of field crickets has prompted the author to attempt a revision of the subfamily Gryllinae. The description of new species of field crickets has for the past thirty years been based at least in part on the structure of the male genitalia and most of the new species have had at least the epiphallic portion of their genitalia figured. This practice, unfortunately, has not included the type species of the various genera and furthermore has not been universally applied to the genera in the subfamily. The logical beginning for a revision would thus be a survey of the genitalia of the type species of the various genera.
