03D3878BFFC4FFBD729B84082E20FC27.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. General appearance (Figs 1 – 13) rather diverse but typical of Podoscirtini; all tympana (if developed) open and oval. Male genitalia primitive in structure (Figs 18 – 20, 23 – 25): epiphallus large, usually with a pair of posterior lobes diverse in size and shape (sometimes epiphallic apex with additional lobules; Figs 14 – 16, 26 – 28); ectoparameres (Figs 18 – 20, 23 – 25) sclerotised, movable, long or moderately long, rather thin (stick- or spine-shaped), with acute or hooklike apices (but sometimes ectoparameres possibly lost; Figs 14 – 16, 26 – 28); endoparameral apodemes usually large, elongate, connected with both ectoparameres and rachis; rachis also large, elongate or slightly elongate, partly membranous, movable in relation to epiphallus, diverse in shape and structure; formula and rami normally developed (but possibly sometimes strongly reduced), rather diverse in size and shape; formula anteriorly often with narrow median apodeme or apodeme-like projection and posteriorly sometimes fused or articulated with sclerotised parts of rachis.	en	Gorochov, A.

03D3878BFFC4FFBD729B84082E20FC27.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The epiphallus in this subtribe usually possesses one characteristic small or tiny denticle near each apex of posterior epiphallic lobes (or near each apex of their upper lobules). Possibly, this denticle is a synapomorphy for members of the Podoscirtina (Figs 20 and 25). In some genera of this subtribe, such a denticle is always or sometimes indistinct (possibly reduced or lost; Figs 14 and 28).	en	Gorochov, A. V.

03D3878BFFC7FFBD72948497282EFD6F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species, described as Platydactylus africanus Walker, 1869 from “ Pt Natal 55.96 ” and “ Pt Natal 58 / 13 ” in South Africa and synonymised with Platydactylus fuliginosus Walker, 1869 from “ Pt Natal 58 / 13 ” (Gorochov, 2004), was included by Chopard (1968) in the genus Kilimagryllus. However, this species is very similar and closely related to B. madagascarica and undoubtedly belongs to the same genus. Here, B. africana is recorded from additional new localities in South Africa.	en	Gorochov, A. V. (2021): Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).

[= Kilimagryllus (Brevitrella) madagascaricus Gorochov, 2004]; Madagascar. Remarks. Brevitrella was originally described as a subgenus of the genus Kilimagryllus. Here Brevitrella is considered as a separate genus, because its male genitalia differ from those of Kilimagryllus in a very important character of rachis: the rachis is divided into two elongate processes movable in relation to each other and to the epiphallus (contrary to this, in Kilimagryllus the rachis is rather simple and movable only in relation to the epiphallus, i. e. not divided into movable processes).

03D3878BFFC7FFBA712D80A82EC5F983.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body medium-sized for this subtribe, slightly dorsoventrally depressed and poorly pubescent. Head (Figs 1, 2 and 10) with moderately long rostrum being roundly angular in profile; scape approximately 1.2 times as wide as rostrum between antennal cavities; apical segment of maxillary palpus clearly longer than other segments of this palpus and almost as long as eye. Pronotum (Figs 2 and 10) insignificantly wider than long, barely narrowing to head, with slightly concave anterior and posterior margins of disc, with lateral lobes moderately high and having somewhat oblique ventral margins, and with rounded longitudinal bends between disc and these lobes; metanotal gland in male developed, small (Fig. 11). Male tegmina significantly shortened; however, their dorsal fields widely overlapping and having traces of stridulatory apparatus (including stridulatory vein almost normal in shape but with partly reduced stridulatory teeth), and their lateral fields only with three or four longitudinal veins (Fig. 3). Legs rather short, without tympana, and with spines and denticles (but not apical spurs) located only on dorsal edges of hind tibia and of hind basitarsus; hind femur widened for jumping. Abdominal tergites simple; anal plate short, distinctly transverse, narrowing to widely rounded apex and without any specialised structures on dorsal surface (Fig. 12); genital plate much longer than anal plate, rather high in proximal half and somewhat lower in distal one, gradually narrowing to rather narrow apex having a pair of lamellar lateral lobules (each lobule narrowly rounded apically and arranged in vertical plane) and almost straight posterior margin between them (Fig. 13). Male genitalia very characteristic (Figs 14 – 16): epiphallus elongate, thinner and partly membranous in distal part, strongly curved upwards in proximal portion, with deep dorsomedian (longitudinal) concavity in distal half, with three small apical lobules (median one located almost under lateral lobules), and with a short anteromedian notch; ectoparameres not developed (lost); rachis long and thin, with a pair of very narrow sclerotised ribbons running along entire rachis and proximally connected with thin and moderately short endoparameral apodemes; bases of these apodemes also with very thin and moderately long sclerotised ribbons running backwards around rachial base; formula very narrow (ribbon-like), moderately short, connected with bases of rachial ribbons in anterior part; rami long, rather high in distal half, with additional thin ramus-like sclerotised structures located above them.	en	Gorochov, A.

03D3878BFFC7FFBA712D80A82EC5F983.taxon	diagnosis	Comparison. Malawitrella gen. nov. strongly differs from all the other genera of Podoscirtini in the characteristic shape of the epiphallus, the absence of ectoparameres, a unique structure of the rachis connected with the endoparameres and strongly reduced formula, and the presence of additional ramus-like sclerites near the true rami. Most of these characters are not in complete accordance with the diagnosis of the subtribe Podoscirtina. However, all of them are associated with loss or reduction of some structures (loss of epiphallic denticles and ectoparameres, reduction of formula). For this reason, here I tentatively include Malawitrella gen. nov. in the subtribe Podoscirtina.	en	Gorochov, A. V. (2021): Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).

General appearance very similar to that of K. steini (Saussure, 1878), but body coloration slightly different (Figs 4 – 6): head yellowish with very large dark brown area on dorsum between eyes, brown V-shaped (reversed) mark on rostral dorsum before median ocellus, rather small darkish area behind each eye, most part of eye nearly dark brown, and small sparse darkish spots on antennal flagellum; pronotum also yellowish with a pair of dark brown lateral longitudinal bands on disc (these bands having small lightish marks) and sparse dark dots between these bands and on lateral lobes; tegmina light yellowish grey with most of veins darkish, humeral stripes dark brown and other parts of lateral field almost yellowish; legs yellowish with dark and darkish dots on fore and middle femora and tibiae, darkish marks on hind femur (numerous oblique lines and less numerous dots), greyish brown ventral stripe on hind tibia (this stripe widened in distal part) and darkish dots at bases of its dorsal spines; abdomen generally light greyish brown, but two apical sternites greyish brown and each of more anterior sternites with a darkish area (thoracic sternites yellowish); anal plate with light brown central area, dark brown ring around this area and brown apical part; genital plate with more or less light lateral parts, brown distal third and dark brown remainder; cerci light yellowish grey. Shape of body somewhat similar to that of Malawitrella sotshivkoi sp. nov., but scape almost 1.3 times as wide as rostrum between antennal cavities, apical segment of maxillary palpus barely longer than height of eye, ventral margins of lateral pronotal lobes scarcely oblique, tegmina reaching seventh abdominal tergite, tegminal lateral field having 11 oblique branches of Sc, very narrow areas between Sc and Cu (crossveins in this field virtually absent), and venation of tegminal dorsal field as in Fig. 5. Structure of legs (including presence of only outer oval tympana) as well as anal and genital plates (Figs 5 and 6) almost same as in K. steini (see Gorochov, 2004). Male genitalia similar to those of K. steini but distinguished by following details: epiphallus with anterolateral lobes narrower, more curved backwards and not projecting above other epiphallic parts; epiphallic posterior edge almost vertical in profile and with a pair of distinct subapical denticles located somewhat lower than epiphallic dorsal apices (these apices separated from each other by a rather small but distinct notch); rachis somewhat narrower in proximal (widened) part and longer in distal (thin) part (latter part clearly longer than widened proximal part, with apical portion wider and stronger curved upwards as well as distinctly bilobed at apex); formula with a pair of longer lateral areas (located behind undivided anterior area) and with longer anterior apodeme; endoparameral apodemes slightly shorter (Figs 18 – 20). Spermatophore approximately as in Fig. 22. Variations. Paratypes with venation slightly darker, hind femur with brown longitudinal median line on outer surface, or rachial apex in genitalia less distinctly bilobed (Fig. 21). Female unknown. Length (in mm). Body 13 – 15; pronotum 2.4 – 2.6; tegmina 7 – 7.5; hind femora 8.5 – 9.	en	Gorochov, A. V. (2021): Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).

03D3878BFFCCFFB5713C87E62905FE7E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The type species of the genus Nessa Walker, 1869 as well as Parametrypa aculeata Saussure, 1878 are from South America. They obviously belong to another genus or other genera. At the same time, P. spiculata Saussure, 1878, also described from “ Natal ”, belongs to Parametrypa and even was synonymised with P. fortipes by Kirby (1906), but here it is restored from this synonymy as a subspecies of the latter species. Exclusion of P. viettei Chopard, 1958 from the genus Parametrypa was grounded above (see the above paragraph about the generic composition of Podoscirtina). Here I describe three new species in this genus.	en	Gorochov, A. V. (2021): Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). Part 13: new taxa of the subtribe Podoscirtina from Africa.
