New and little-known Cachoplistinae and Phaloriinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

A.V. Gorochov

Abstract. A total of 13 Indo-Malayan and Afrotropical species belonging to six genera from four tribes of the subfamilies Cachoplistinae and Phaloriinae are considered. A new tribe, two new genera, two new subgenera, eight new species, and a new subspecies are described. Some other taxa are characterized (including revisions of type material, information about systematic position, and new data on distribution). Two names are restored: Cacoplistes indicus (Chop.), sp. dist. and Meloimorpha albicornis (Walk.), sp. dist. Two names are lowered in rank: M. japonica yunnanensis (Yin), stat. n. and Vescelia pieli ryukyuensis (Oshiro), stat. n. et comb. n.
