Abstract
The present paper deals with a description of two new species of crickets of the subfamily Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), Trelleora khasiana sp. nov. and Indotrella maculata sp. nov., from India; besides, some additional morphological characteristics of the already reported species, Indotrella angusta Gorochov, 2003 is also presented. The morphological characterization of these two new species is supported with suitable line diagrams and plates. A checklist of crickets of Podoscirtinae for the Asia-tropical region is included.
