Genus Anemozara Gorochov, 2014

Gorochov, 2014: 41

Four species from two subgenera are currently known from Borneo ( Cigliano et al., 2020):

Subgenus Anemozara Gorochov, 2014

A. (A.) propria Gorochov, 2014 — Sarawak: Lambir Hills

A. (A.) umbrosa Gorochov, 2014 — Sarawak: Kubah

A. (A.) vera Gorochov, 2014 — Sabah: Trus Madi

Subgenus Zacmozara Gorochov, 2014

A. (Z.) eximia Gorochov, 2014 — Sarawak: Lambir Hills

All the male specimens from Brunei Darussalam belong to the subgenus Anemozara Gorochov, 2014 characterised by apical segment of maxillary palpi whitish and male genitalia with rather short and wide epiphallus having moderately narrow and bilobate apical lobule of posteromedian lobe directed upwards, with short and more or less simple ectoparameres, and with short rachis (as compared to subgenus Zacmozara Gorochov, 2014 ). We keep the two species from Brunei (with only male specimens) tentatively as putative species until we can confirm that they are distinct from the species from A. (A.) umbrosa and A. (A.) propria (both known only from females). These crickets are extremely well camouflaged in their natural environment (leaf litters) and are very active. This may explain why extremely little is known about this genus so far and very few materials have been collected.
