Subtribe Anurogryllina Randell, 1964

This subtribe was described under the tribe Gymnogryllini included Anurogryllus and Urogryllus ( Randell, 1964). Subsequently, additional genera such as Paranurogryllus , Hispanogryllus , Zebragryllus and Mexigryllus have been described ( Mesa & García-Novo, 1999; Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009; Desutter-Grandcolas et al., 2014; Gorochov, 2019). Gorochov (2019) included this subtribe under Gryllini , redefined it and provided a key for the identification of genera and subgenera.

Recently, Atsigryllus Cadena-Castañeda & Tíjaro, 2020 a tiny cricket from Colombia, was described compared to Zebragryllus , very similar in its external morphology, so a relationship with the Neotropical Brachytrupina was suggested ( Cadena-Castañeda&Tíjaro,2020).Further stydying the holotype of Atsigryllus sikuani Cadena-Castañeda & Tíjaro, 2020 , we conclude that this genus should be included in the subtribe Anurogryllina , highlighting a notable reduction of the median lophi, the pseudepiphallic paramere is similar in lateral view as the genera Andeogryllus n. gen. and Anurogryllus (Urogryllus) , the rami is not divided anteriorly, and the ectophallic fold is lanceolate as in most species of this subtribe.

Anurogryllina has an American distribution, with few described species compared to Gryllina , Brachytrupina and Cophogryllina, which have a broader distribution. However, several distributional gaps still exist and in those unexplored places there must undoubtedly be many species to describe, and genera to add, as is the case of this contribution, in which a new genus similar to Zebragryllus and Atsigryllus is described. The following is the updated key for the subtribe modified from Gorochov (2019) and Cadena-Castañeda & García (2020):
