Stenopelmatinae is the sole subfamily in the family Stenopelmatidae. There are about 7 genera and more than 50 described species in Stenopelmatinae.

The species of this subfamily found in the New World are called Jerusalem crickets, making up the genera Ammopelmatus and Stenopelmatus. These were formerly the only genera of this subfamily, and now make up the tribe Stenopelmatini. Old World species have also been referred to as Jerusalem crickets in recent years, as well as sand crickets and stone crickets.[1][2][3]
