I can't say what species but I would call this a "mole cricket" - some info on the family (Gryllotalpidae) here


That said, a couple of my Australian colleagues said they would call cooloquially call this a "sandgroper", although that common name seems now to be associated with species now assigned to the family Cylindrachetidae


Both these families are  part of the order Orthoptera which includes grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and their close relatives.
