Abstract

Based on both morphological characters and phylogenetic relationships, one new genus Progoniogryllus gen. nov. and two new species, Progoniogryllus rotundus sp. nov. and Progoniogryllus directus sp. nov., are proposed. The new genus is compared with similar genera of Gryllodes Saussure, 1874, Parasongella Otte, 1987, Callogryllus Sjöstedt, 1910 and Goniogryllus Chopard. 1936 by morphological and phylogenetic methods. Based on the knowledge so far, the new genus is very close to Goniogryllus. All the new taxa are described and illustrated, and some information on mating behavior of the new was also provided.
