Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta

Superfamily:	Gryllotalpoidea Leach, 1815
Type genus
Gryllotalpa Latreille, 1802

The Gryllotalpoidea are a superfamily of insects that includes the mole crickets and the ant crickets. The type genus is Gryllotalpa.

Recent (2015) molecular phylogenetic studies support the monophyly of the cricket clade (Gryllidea in the Orthoptera Species File) and its subdivision into two clades: Gryllotalpidae and Myrmecophilidae on the one hand, and all the other crickets (i.e. crickets sensu stricto: seven monophyletic clades, including the scaly crickets Mogoplistidae and Gryllidae).

Families and subfamilies

The Orthoptera Species File lists the following families and subfamilies:

• Gryllotalpidae Leach, 1815 - mole crickets
  • Gryllotalpinae Leach, 1815
  • †Marchandiinae Gorochov, 2010
  • Scapteriscinae Zeuner, 1939
• Myrmecophilidae Saussure, 1874 - ant crickets
  • Bothriophylacinae Miram, 1934
  • Myrmecophilinae Saussure, 1874
