Oecanthites Blanchard, 1845 The Oecanthidae are a recently (2022[1]) restored family of crickets based on the type genus Oecanthus Serville, 1831.

[2] The family and lower taxonomic names are based on "Oecanthites" used by Émile Blanchard in 1845,[3] with the first use as Oecanthidae by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1873.

[4] Campos et al. (2022)[1] provide a key to the four subfamilies and tribes.
