Partial revision of the subfamily Itarinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

A.V. Gorochov

Abstract. The subfamily Itarinae consists of 2 genera: Itara Walk. with 7 subgenera (4 new) and 36 species (20 new), and Parapentacentrus Shir. with 3 species. Gryllitara Chop. and Phormincter Sauss. hitherto placed in synonymy with Itara are considered as subgenera. Discussion about systematic position of Itarinae, keys to all taxa, redescriptions, descriptions of hitherto unknown females, and new data on geographical distribution of several forms, are given.
