Mogoplistes is a genus of African and European crickets which is typical of the family Mogoplistidae and tribe Mogoplistini, erected by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1838. This genus is distributed around the Mediterranean in mainland Europe and North Africa. In 1984, the scaly cricket was moved from here to the new genus Pseudomogoplistes.
