Gryllacris
Serville, 1838
Comments:
This is the
type
genus of the family with 86 species (
Cigliano
et al
., 2019
), and it is in dire need of revision, as in the past most species of the family were placed in
Gryllacris
, until
Brunner von Wattenwyl (1888)
and
Karny (1937)
came up with their generic arrangements, but some remainder genera are left within
Gryllacris
but do not belong to this genus, which makes the taxonomy of this and other related genera in the South
East Asia
region confusing.
Gryllacris tesellata
(
Drury, 1770
)
, is therefore transfered to
Pissodogryllacris
Karny, 1937
:
Pissodogryllacris tesellata
(
Drury, 1770
)
n. comb.
It is likely that the male of this species can be conspecific with some of the species currently known only by females.
