Genus Acophogryllus Gorochov, 1996, stat. n. Type species: Cophogryllus (Acophogryllus) schultzei Gorochov, 1996 (Namibia: Kamaggas). Remarks: This genus, originally described as a subgenus of Cophogryllus, is characterised, unlike all other apterous Gryllini of South Africa and Namibia, by the primitive structure of the ectoparameres, which are solid and trilobate (Fig. 30). These features give reason to separate this taxon from Cophogryllus, and to lift its rank up to the generic level. However, this decision is not final, as this taxon comprises only a single species (Figs 29–31), and its female is unknown. More clear differences of Acophogryllus from macropterous and brachypterous Gryllini with primitive ectoparameres may be revealed after the discovery of additional material.
