Abstract

A new material on the genera Brevizacla Gorochov, 2003 and Mikluchomaklaia Gorochov, 1986 from the subtribe Brevizaclina Gorochov, 2014 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), distributed mainly in the Papuan Region, is considered. Three new species of these taxa from Papua New Guinea are described: Brevizacla (Brevizacla) mikhaili sp. n., Mikluchomaklaia (Phantazacla) ivani sp. n. and M. (Ph.) alexandri sp. n. One species from Indonesia, M. (Mikluchomaklaia) halmahera (Gorochov, 2014), comb. n., is transferred from the genus Brevizacla and the subgenus Lobulacla Gorochov, 2014 to the nominotypical subgenus of the genus Mikluchomaklaia. Some generic and subgeneric characters in this tribe are briefly discussed.
