Tribe Progryllacridini Cadena-Castañeda, 2019

Comments. This tribe was established in the recent monograph on the Gryllacrididae classification. It is characterized by its small-size, robust hind femur, male subgenital plate usually with a triangular prolongation on the posterior border, in the middle of the styles, ovipositor moderately thickened and, well-curved upwards (Cadena-Castañeda, 2019).

Progryllacridini is represented by three genera comprising 13 species, Karnygryllacris Cadena-Castañeda, 2019 (with seven species from Madagascar and nearby islands), Brunnergryllacris Cadena-Castañeda, 2019 (two species from West coast of Africa between Guinea and Congo) and Progryllacris Ander, 1939 (four species from Neotropics) (Cigliano et al., 2020). The species of all these genera are long-winged, except for Progryllacris albonigra (Karny, 1929) and a new species described here. Both differ in wing development and characters of male terminalia in contrast with the other species of the tribe. Therefore, here we describe a genus to accommodate them.
