A new genus and species of the subfamily Gryllinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from Indonesia
A.V. Gorochov
Abstract. Mirolotmia dinocephala gen. et sp. nov. of the subtribe Brachytrupina Saussure, 1877 (the tribe Gryllini) is described from the West Papua Province of Indonesia. The name Cephalogryllini Otte et Alexander, 1983, syn. nov., is synonymised with Brachytrupina. The new genus is very similar in the general appearance to some Australian and American short-winged representatives of this subtribe, which dig burrows, but it differs in the male genitalia with three rather long lobules on the posterior epiphallic part.
