The family Stenopelmatidae is divided here only into 3 subfamilies: Stenopelmatinae with 4 or 5 tribes (Stenopelmatini; Siini stat. resurr.; Maxentiini trib. n.; Oryctopterini trib. resurr. and possibly Oryctopini); Schizodactylinae (= Comicinae Ander, 1939, syn. n.) not divided into tribes, and Gryllacridinae (= Hyperbaeninae Cadena-Castañeda, 2019, syn. n. ) with a problematic tribal composition. The following new taxa are described: Sia bugajus sp. n.; Amaxentius subgen. n. and Eumaxentius subgen. n. in the genus Maxentius Stål, 1876, stat. resurr.; Comicus orangensis sp. n.; C. myburghi sp. n.; C. namibicus sp. n. The genera Oryctopterus Karny, 1937, gen. resurr. and Brauckmannia Martins-Neto, 2007, gen. resurr. are restored from synonymy with Oryctopus Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1888 and Schizodactylus Brullé, 1835, respectively. The family Anostostomatidae includes only 2 subfamilies: Anostostomatinae with 9 tribes (Anostostomatini; Anabropsini; Lutosini; Cratomelini stat. n.; Brachyporini; Deinacridini stat. n.; Cooloolini stat. n.; Leiomelini stat. n., and Glaphyrosomatini) and possibly Lezininae not divided into tribes. The genus Anabropsis Rehn, 1901 is considered as consisting of 5 subgenera: Anabropsis s. str.; Paterdecolyus Griffini, 1913, stat. n.; Pteranabropsis Gorochov, 1988, stat. n. (= Brevipenna Shi et Bian, 2016, syn. n. ); Apteranabropsis Gorochov, 1988, stat. n.; and Carnabropsis subgen. n. New combinations for 20 species of this genus are formed, and the following new species and subspecies are described: Anabropsis ( Pteranabropsis ) intermedia sp. n.; A. ( P. ) falcata pallescens subsp. n.; A. ( Apteranabropsis ) ailaoshanica sp. n.; A. ( A. ) maculata sp. n.; A. ( A. ) tarasovi sp. n.; A. ( A. ) abramovi sp. n.; A. ( A .) abramovi namlikensis subsp. n. The previously unknown male of Anabropsis ( Apteranabropsis ) minuta (Gorochov, 2001) and the female of A. ( A. ) sinica Bey-Bienko, 1962 are described. Proctovitettix subgen. n. in the genus Glaphyrosoma Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1888, as well as Spinolezina gen. n. for S. obscura (Burr, 1900), comb. n. from Lezininae, are also described; the genus Gryllacropsis Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1888 is tentatively included in the latter subfamily. Keys to several taxa and new data on the distribution of some species are given.
