Abstract
The genus Phaeophilacris Walker, 1871 (Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae), endemic to Africa, currently encompasses 80 species grouped into 11 subgenera. Over half of these species inhabit subterranean environments. This study introduces the description of two novel species discovered in two distinct caves in Kenya: P. (Taenacris) kereita n. sp. and P. (Taenacris) papiophagus n. sp. The two species described herein are assigned to the subgenus Phaeophilacris (Taenacris) Gorochov, 2020, based on distinct male genitalia characteristics. Additionally, we provide the first pictorial key for the subgenus Phaeophilacris (Taenacris).
