Subfamily Cacoplistinae Saussure, 1877

Remarks. Chintauan-Marquier et al. (2013, 2016) support the cricket tribe Homoeogryllini Gorochov, 1986 , including the genera Homoeogryllus Guérin-Méneville, 1847 and Meloimorpha Walker, 1870 , but also the genus Socotracris Desutter-Grandcolas, 2012 originating from Socotra, presently classified within the Phalangopsinae subfamily ( Cigliano et al. 2021). Morphological characters show that the Homoeogryllini are the sister group of the Indian and Chinese monogeneric tribe Cachoplistini Saussure, 1877 , within the Cachoplistinae subfamily.

Apart from Paragryllodes nitidula n. comb. ( Paragryllinae ) and species of Phaloria (Papuloria) (Phaloriinae) , all the Phalangopsidae crickets from the Seychelles gather as a well-supported clade, which is the sister group of the Homoeogryllini , with Gryllapterus as the sister genus of ( Phalangacris — Phaeogryllus ) Seselia Hugel & Desutter- Grandcolas, n. gen.). To acknowledge this relationship, we define here the Seselini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas , n. tribe, endemic from the Seychelles, for the genera Phalangacris , Phaeogryllus , Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas , n. gen. and Gryllapterus .
