Paragryllus (Paragryllus) Guérin-Méneville, 1844 s.s.

Diagnosis. Medium to large size (19‒28 mm.). Harp of the tegmina with 5‒6 veins; the mirror of the tegmina divided by more than six veins (only P. circularis with five veins), apical area pronounced or moderately reduced ( Figs. 3I , 4C ). Pseudepiphallic lobes with bristles, well-pronounced and with cylindrical or conical shape in lateral view. Pseudepiphallic arm mid-sized, branching about at half of its length in lateral view, tapering towards the apex, and ending in a hook; in ventral view, intersecting with the other parallel branch. Endophallic sclerite well‒developed and ectophallic fold arising slightly in the middle of the pseudepiphallus ( Figs. 3J–L ).
