Paragryllodini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribe

Type genus. Paragryllodes Karny, 1909 , here designated.

Diagnosis. At this stage, one single genus is included in this new tribe. The diagnosis of Paragryllodini , therefore, is that of Paragryllodes (see infra).

Remark. Paragryllodes was tentatively placed in the subtribe Mexiaclina Gorochov, 2014 under the tribe Paragryllini Desutter, 1987 ( Gorochov 2015) . Molecular data clearly indicate that Paragryllodes is not related to Paragryllini . We therefore propose here the new tribe Paragryllodini n. tribe for the genus Paragryllodes , which represents a well-supported monophyletic clade within the Paragryllinae subfamily.

In the molecular phylogeny of Chintauan-Marquier et al. (2013, 2016), the Paragryllodes clade is very wellsupported within the Phalangopsidae clade E2 ( Chintauan-Marquier et al. 2016: Fig. 4 ; 100% ML bootstrap support, 1 posterior probability), a result confirmed with a more extended data set ( Warren et al. 2019 and in prep.).
