Batrachideinae is a subfamily of groundhoppers or pygmy grasshoppers. There are thought to be 20 genera in Batrachideinae, with genera found in the Americas, Africa, (mostly tropical) Asia and Australia.

Description

Groudhoppers in this subfamily are characterised by having antennae consisting of 18-22 segments (other Tetrigidae have less than 16).

About 25 genera in three tribes belong to the subfamily Batrachideinae:
