Treatment

Diagnosis. Ocelli prominent and ovoid. Tympani totally exposed. Margin of the hind tibia with no spines. Female tegmina with the distal portion of the radial area widened, distal portion of the subcostal area narrow, costal veins non-reticulate. Phallic complex: Not examined.

Comments. Cadena-Castañeda (2015), reports facultative parthenogenesis, argumenting that the species hitherto described (only females) were reared in laboratory, they produced fertile eggs through two filial generations, with no contact with males (which are unknown). This being the case, it has not been possible to study the phallic structure of the males. G. macilenta is not included in the key to species.

Type species. Gryllotalpella minor ( Bruner, 1916) .
