The Cachoplistinae is a subfamily of crickets (Orthoptera: Ensifera) of the family Phalangopsidae; they are sometimes called beetle crickets or bell crickets. Species are terrestrial, carnivorous or omnivorous and can be found in: Africa, tropical Asia, Korea and Japan.

Nomenclature

The names for this subfamily and the tribe Cachoplistini, are based on Saussure's (1877) genus "Cachoplistus" and priority for family-group names based on his use of "Cachoplistites". The agreed type genus is Cacoplistes, but "Cacoplistinae" has been superseded; the first use of Cachoplistinae was by Chopard (1968).
