7E231C07FFA77326FF20FE0E3B86FD6E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This genus is so far known only from Mindanao, Philippines, and consists of two species (Otte, 1988; Tan et al., 2019 a, 2023): Ajorama balatukanis Otte, 1988 from Mount Balatukan and Ajorama siargaoensis (Tan et al., 2019 a) from Siargao Island. Below, a third species is described from Lanao del Norte, also in Mindanao. The three species can be readily differentiated by the male genitalia morphology (Table 1).	en	Daguplo, Jiandy, Mondejar, Eddie, Tan, Ming Kai (2025): A new species of Ajorama Otte, 1988 (Grylloidea, Landrevinae) from Mindanao, Philippines.

7E231C07FFA77321FF20FA653B76FC27.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named after its characteristics chelated pseudepiphallic lophi [posterolateral epiphallic lobes]; chelatoides = chelate / claw-like.	en	Daguplo, Jiandy, Mondejar, Eddie, Tan, Ming Kai (2025): A new species of Ajorama Otte, 1988 (Grylloidea, Landrevinae) from Mindanao, Philippines.

7E231C07FFA77321FF20FA653B76FC27.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is characterized by the pseudepiphallic lophi [posterolateral epiphallic lobe] chelate (crab-like) with its apex more acute (instead of finger-like with apex obtuse in A. balatukanis, and A. siargaoensis); and pseudoepiphallic posteromedial lophi [posteromedial epiphallic lobe] having its posterior process more acute and slenderer with a subacute apex (instead of having a truncated apex), and the having its anterior (dorsal) process more acute than A. balatukanis but not hooked (as in A. siargaoensis).	en	Daguplo, Jiandy, Mondejar, Eddie, Tan, Ming Kai (2025): A new species of Ajorama Otte, 1988 (Grylloidea, Landrevinae) from Mindanao, Philippines.

Each ectophallic apodeme [endoparameral apodeme] forked posteriorly, and together with its long anterior apodeme forming a Y-shape structure; inner branch shorter and with truncated apex, outer branch longer (reaching bottom of epiphallic notch), and with truncated apex. Endophallic sclerite [formula (= mold of spermatophore attachment plate)] elongated; narrow anteriorly (when viewed dorsally); flattened and raised posteriorly with apex of anterior apodeme obtuse (when viewed laterally). Rami not fused together by the anterior ends, but nearly touching one another. Female. Not known. Coloration. Generally dark, red brown or brown (Fig. 1).

7E231C07FFA07321FF20FB543A9DF873.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Our specimen (Fig. 4) from Lanao del Norte belongs to the subgenus Bejorama Otte, 1988 based on the distinct stridulatory apparatus (Fig. 5 D), an apical bundle of strong setae directed upwards of male anal plate, and lacking a distinct transverse epiphallic fold as well as dorsal denticles on epiphallus (Fig. 6). It is most similar to Duolandrevus (Bejorama) gingoogus Otte, 1988 from Mindanao Island, and differs from Duolandrevus (Bejorama) balabacus Otte, 1988 fromPalawanIslandand Duolandrevus (Bejorama) luzonensis Otte, 1988 by slight differences in the metanotal gland, FW venation, and male genitalia (particularly in the shape of the pseudepiphallic lobe [posterolateral epiphallic lobe]) (see Otte, 1988; Gorochov, 2016). This species was previously known from Mt. Pomalith in Misamis Oriental; hence we add a new locality record for this species.	en	Daguplo, Jiandy, Mondejar, Eddie, Tan, Ming Kai (2025): A new species of Ajorama Otte, 1988 (Grylloidea, Landrevinae) from Mindanao, Philippines.
