Diaphanogryllacris Karny, 1937

Type species: Gryllacris translucens Serville, 1838

Diagnosis. Tegmen and hind wings transparent without coloration or tegmen partly with a faint yellowish or greyish infumation; veins and veinlets more or less darkened, giving the wings a meshwork like pattern. Media running close to radius in basal fourth to third of tegmen, but never fused, after that both veins separate. Males are characterized by a pair of often long projections from ninth abdominal tergite pointing down and in between a pair of upward projections from tenth abdominal tergite. In few species the pair of projections from ninth tergite is however very short as in D. aequalis (Walker, 1859) from Sri Lanka, or in D. translucens (Serville, 1838) from Medan in NHMW, in the latter there is only a very small lobe instead of a projection as in most other species (Figs 57G, K, arrows).
