Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). Part 1: the male genitalia and Indo-Malayan Podoscirtini

A.V. Gorochov

Abstract. The morphology of the male genitalia of Podoscirtinae and the nomenclature of their structures are discussed. Six Indo-Malayan genera of Podoscirtini are characterized; 4 new genera, 2 new subgenera, 20 new species, and 5 new subspecies are described; several other species are revised (including the descriptions of some unknown females and new data on distribution). One generic name (Calyptotrypus Sauss.) and one specific name (Platydactylus helvolus Serv.) are considered nomina dubia. New synonymy (Zvenella nigrotibialis Liu, Yin & Wang, syn. n. = Z. geniculata; Madasumma obscuripennis Chop., syn. n. = Z. parcevenosa; Calyptotrypus flavomarginatus Hsia & Liu, syn. n. = Valia pulchra) is established. The lectotype for Truljalia hofmanni is designated.
