Pseudolebinthus is an intriguing genus of the tribe Xenogryllini with a distribtuion restricted to southeast Africa and characterized by unique morphological features such as asymmetrical male forewings and harp veins shaped as elongated balloons. It is sister group to the widely distributed genus Xenogryllus and has been known by two species, P. africanus Robillard, 2006 and P. whellani Robillard, 2006. The genus was initially diagnosed based exclusively on male morphological features. In this study, we add a new species to the genus, P. gorochovi Robillard sp. nov. and revise the diagnostic features using both male and female characters. We also update identification keys for the species of the genus.
伪裂蟋属是异蟋族中一个有趣的属，分布局限于非洲东南部，其特征是具有独特的形态特征，如雄性前翅不对称以及竖琴脉呈细长气球状。它是广泛分布的异蟋属的姐妹群，已知有两个物种，即2006年的非洲伪裂蟋和2006年的韦氏伪裂蟋。该属最初仅根据雄性形态特征进行诊断。在本研究中，我们为该属增添了一个新物种，即戈氏伪裂蟋，并利用雄性和雌性特征修订了诊断特征。我们还更新了该属物种的检索表。
