Nymphrytria mirabilis
Shelford, 1911
Diagnosis.
Distinguished from the other Palaearctic genera by the tarsi with only one claw and by the special armament of the hindtibiae.
Characters.
Wings: fully developed or strongly reduced and modified, tegmina without subcosta lobe.—Femur armament: all femora without an apical spine.—Tibia armament: in front- and midleg various, hindtibia at the ventral side with a row of 4 or 5 five huge spines in close spacing, starting at the apical end of the tibia, including 1 apical and 3–4 ventral spines (
Fig. 2F
), dorsal surface with with 5–6 or no spines.—Tarsi: with only one claw, arolia absent.—Subgenital plate: in shape and bristle supply various, styli absent.—Right phallomere:
Type
2, 5a or 5b.—Supraanal plate: very short, posterior border slightly convex or straight,

Type
species.
Mononychoblatta semenovi
Chopard, 1929
Diagnosis.
From the other subgenera distinguished by the normal armament of front- and midtibia, the subgenital plate with strong bristles only along the posterior margin, and the structure of the right phallomere (
Type
2).
Male characters.
Wings: fully developed.—Tibia armament: in front- and midleg normal (comparable to other Palaearctic genera), in the hindleg specialised as described above.Armament of hindtibia according to Chopard with 6 dorsal spines, in the
two specimens
from the M. Paris with 5 dorsal spines [1.8.0][7.7.1][5–6.7.3].—Subgenital plate: with strong bristles only along the posterior margin,
