Paragryllacris is a genus of Australian Orthopterans, sometimes known as "leaf-folding-" or "raspy-crickets" in the family Gryllacridinae, erected by the Swiss entomologist Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1888.Brunner von Wattenwyl C (1888) Verh. der Zoologisch-Botanischen Gesellsch. Wien 38: 369. It is fairly typical for its tribe Paragryllacridini. However, in a large comparison of 650 insect species, Australian Raspy Crickets were found to be the insect with the strongest bite. {{cite web |title=Australian raspy cricket has the strongest bite of 650 insect species |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/2307992-australian-raspy-cricket-has-the-strongest-bite-of-650-insect-species/ |website=New Scientist}}
