Paragryllacris


Paragryllacris is a genus of Australian Orthopterans, sometimes known as "leaf-folding-" or "raspy-crickets" in the family Gryllacridinae, erected by the Swiss entomologist Carl [Brunner von Wattenwyl] in 1888. It is fairly typical for its tribe Paragryllacridini. However, in a large comparison of 650 insect species, Australian Raspy Crickets were found to be the insect with the strongest bite.
