Abstract
The systematic position of the Phalangopsinae species known from Africa and Madagascar as well as from the Comores, Seychelles, and some other adjacent islands is discussed. The genus Paragryllodes Karny is tentatively included in the subtribe Mexiaclina of the tribe Paragryllini, and the genera Phaeophilacris Walk., Phalangacris Bol., and Seychellesia Bol. to the subtribe Heterogryllina of the tribe Phalangopsini. Three new subgenera and four new species of the genus Paragryllodes are described: Optigryllus subgen. n., P. (Cortigryllus subgen. n.) andasibe sp. n., P. (C.) raineri sp. n., P. (Stridugryllus subgen. n.) andreji sp. n., and P. (P.) africanus sp. n. The former genus Montigryllus Sjöst. previously synonymized with the genus Paragryllodes is restored as a subgenus of this genus.
