Tachycines is a genus of camel crickets in the subfamily Aemodogryllinae and tribe Aemodogryllini. Some authorities had placed the type species, T. asynamorus, in the genus Diestrammena, but recent papers returned this to the subgenus Tachycines (Tachycines), with a substantial number of new species recently described.
Species have a discontinuous distribution in Europe and eastern Asia (China, Korea, Japan), with species in subgenus Gymnaeta also found Indo-China and the Philippines. European records appear to refer to Tachycines asynamorus: the cosmopolitan 'greenhouse camel cricket', which has also spread to the USA.
