All the male specimens from
Brunei Darussalam
belong to the subgenus
Anemozara
Gorochov, 2014
characterised by apical segment of maxillary palpi whitish and male genitalia with rather short and wide epiphallus having moderately narrow and bilobate apical lobule of posteromedian lobe directed upwards, with short and more or less simple ectoparameres, and with short rachis (as compared to subgenus
Zacmozara
Gorochov, 2014
). We keep the two species from
Brunei
(with only male specimens) tentatively as putative species until we can confirm that they are distinct from the species from
A.
(
A.
)
umbrosa
and
A.
(
A.
)
propria
(both known only from females). These crickets are extremely well camouflaged in their natural environment (leaf litters) and are very active. This may explain why extremely little is known about this genus so far and very few materials have been collected.
