Diestrammena is a cricket genus in the family Rhaphidophoridae. Species in the genus are native to Asia, including Japan.
The United States is currently undergoing a camel cricket census conducted by researchers and citizen scientists at North Carolina State University. Citizen scientists were asked to survey their homes for presence or absence of camel crickets such as those of this genus and return photos and/or specimens to the lab for further research. Researchers have found that introduced Diestrammena asynamora camel crickets were reported much more commonly than the native North American camel crickets of the genus Ceuthophilus.[1]
