In this paper we describe two new sympatric species of phalangopsid crickets Adelosgryllus from the Araripe-Apodi Na- tional Forest, State of Cear\á, Brazil, highlighting morphological characters, mainly from male genitalia, tegmina and cop- ulatory papilla. We also present a geographical map for the valid species of the genus, as well as photographs of holotypes and paratypes. The type-material is deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de S\ão Paulo (MZUSP).

In this paper we improve the morphological description of the tree cricket Neoxabea brevipes Rehn, 1913 and a new oc- currence record for the species at the S\ão Francisco de Paula National Forest Conservation Unit, State of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Morphological characterization is provided together with illustrations emphasizing the most signif- icant diagnostic features, such as the metanotal gland, abdominal specializations and phallic sclerites. The calling song was field recorded, comprising a continuous trill with dominant frequency of 3.6 kHz (19.7\°C). The karyotype was de- scribed for the first time to Neoxabea Kirby, 1906, including diploid number of 2n=26, with two sexual chromosomes.

The genus Gryllus includes 82 described species that occur in America from Canada to Argentina as well as in several areas of Africa, Europe and Asia. There are 12 species in South America, which were described in the nineteenth century based on a small number of samples and inconsistent characters such as body coloration and external morphology. The aim of this article is to redescribe Gryllus argentinus Saussure, 1874 collected in the urban areas of Pelotas, Cap\ão do Le\ão and Rio Grande, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, highlighting phallic sclerites, calling song and body morphometry. We designate the lectotype male, provide a combination of diagnostic characteristics and discuss the taxonomic situation of South American Gryllus species.
