Genus Anabrus refers to a group of insects commonly known as the Mormon cricket or Anabrus simplex. The term 'genus' pertains to a taxonomic classification for the group of related species. Some synonyms for the Genus Anabrus include the following taxonomic classifications: Anabrus Migratorius, Anabrus Montana, and Nemobius Sylvestris. These synonyms, which are based on morphological and molecular data, are recognized by scientists in order to ensure proper identification and classification of the organisms. Despite being called the Mormon cricket, this group of insects does not actually belong to the cricket family but rather to the katydid or bush cricket family.
