Key to the genera of Gryllacrididae occurring from South East Asia to New Guinea

Included are all genera so far reported from an area between about India in the West, China in the North and New Guinea in the Southeast. For most genera I studied and illustrated at least one species, and, if possible, the type species. A few genera I only know from their descriptions (see Material and methods).

1. Ventral margins of fore and mid-tibiae with 4 pairs of long spines plus one pair of apical spurs ( Figs. 2A, C) and with a pre-apical spine on ventral margins of hind tibiae in addition to the apical spurs ( Figs. 1H, 2C); if on fore or on mid tibiae only 3 pairs of long spines then at least with a pre-apical spine on both ventral margins of hind tibiae ( Figs. 2C, 2F)................ 2.

- Ventral margins of fore and mid-tibiae with only 3 pairs (rarely only 2 pairs) of long spines plus one pair of apical spurs ( Figs. 2B, 2D). Hind tibiae without pre-apical spine in addition to the apical spurs ( Fig. 2D)............................. 67.

2. In adult specimens fore and hind wings fully developed, surpassing or at least covering abdomen; if not fully covering abdomen or more strongly shortened, wing venation clearly identifiable.............................................. 3.

- In adult specimens fore and hind wings strongly reduced or absent: apterous, micropterous, or strongly brachypterous species, in which the identification of single veins is not clear or impossible............................................ 54.

3. Fore wings with media in basal area fused with radius, giving the impression that radius has two posterior branches; cubitus anterior simply divided into two branches ( Fig. 1B, D) or undivided ( Fig. 1C); usually media anterior does not send a connecting branch to cubitus and there is no visible media posterior. Female ovipositor with apical widening and with a longitudinal lateral furrow that ends just before apical widening ( Fig. 2E). (If media fused in basal area with radius but ovipositor without apical widening compare Asarcogryllacris .)................................................................ 4.

- Fore wings with media in basal area free, although sometimes running very close to it; in fully winged species, media anterior usually sends a short connecting branch to the anterior branch of cubitus anterior that then divides a second time; thus that MP+CuA consists of three branches, but in species with shorter wings their number can be reduced ( Figs. 1 E–G) or fore wings with somewhat elevated parallel veins that do not show a clear branching ( Fig. 1A). If media anterior is fused at base with radius then there are two branches between media anterior and the last branch of cubitus anterior ( Fig. 2G) and/or the ovipositor has the tip simply rounded or acute. Female ovipositor without apical widening and without longitudinal furrow ( Fig. 2F)................................................................................................... 14.

4. Median ocellus very large ( Fig. 22). Both, fore and hind wings darkened with veins and veinlets light and bordered by light bands; in species with less darkened wings, the pattern is still distinct ( Fig. 21). Veins of fore wings running parallel, substraight and in nearly equal distance to each other, only the basically fused radius/RS/MA system branched, other veins unbranched and straight ( Fig. 1C). Male abdomen with projections from ninth abdominal tergite ( Fig. 23)... Ocellarnaca Gor.

- Median ocellus often small and in dried specimens often indistinct; if large and distinct then wings with different color pattern. In fore wings, cubitus anterior usually divided into two branches and cubitus posterior and the first anal veins in middle of wing with sinuate course ( Figs. 1B, D).................................................................... 5.

5. Medium sized to large and robust species, pronotum relatively wide and short. Hind wings transparent or with dark color pattern; if with dark color pattern then the centers of the cells are dark while bands along the cross veins light ( Figs. 4, 5K). Fore wings of uniform color, often green when alive, or orange brown with subtransparent marginal area; some species with indicated or fully expressed dark pattern as on hind wings and/or with shining black maculae ( Figs. 4, 9 A–E). Male ninth tergite prolonged and down-curved with median furrow; at tip with a pair of rather small teeth, spines or otherwise formed projections ( Fig. 6). Female seventh abdominal sternite with apical process of variable size and shape, covering base of subgenital plate to a variable extend ( Figs. 7–8)......................................................... Eugryllacris Karny, 1937

6. Medium sized to large species. Male eighth abdominal tergite markedly prolonged and ninth tergite strongly modified: either the lateral areas restricted to base and in middle with a large process, or the lateral areas reduced and the ninth tergite partly moved to the underside of the eighth tergite and/or is moveable against it, or lateral areas extended and strongly bent down from central area thus that the ninth tergite appears nearly box or hood shaped and has at apical margin a pair of small tooth- or hook-shaped projections that are in situ completely hidden by the subgenital plate. Female subgenital plate wide at base, then strongly narrowed to the often bi-oval centro-apical area with medial furrow and apical notch; either with a small stylus-like projection in about central area of plate with slightly widened tip or female subgenital plate with a wide extra sclerite from preceding intersegmental membrane or very base of subgenital plate. Gryllacris sensu lato............................. 7. - Male ninth abdominal tergite of rather normal shape, with a medial furrow or a pair of oval swellings in subapical area and with a pair of small apical appendages. Female subgenital plate without stylus-like projection or wide basal extra sclerite...................................................................................................... 10.

7.
