Genus Mimicogryllus Gorochov, 1994

Type species: Mimicogryllus hymenopteroides Gorochov , by original designation

Remarks. Prior to the discovery of the new species, this genus comprises of two species from Indochina. This genus is unique in their relatively short antennae (also observed in Sclerogryllus Gorochov, 1985 ) and velvety black body (also observed in Acanthoplistus Saussure, 1877 , Agryllus Gorochov, 1994 , Squamigryllus Gorochov, 2001 and Sclerogryllus ); but it differs by the combination of the following characters: small body size, large eyes, presence of tympana, developed stridulatory apparatus, but mainly by the original structure of male genitalia.
