Discotettiginae were recently synonymized with Scelimeninae, but the polyphyletic genus Hirrius Bolívar, 1887, with five species endemic to the Philippines and Sulawesi, remained an unsolved issue. Besides similarly widened subapical antennomeres, head and pronotum, other traits suggest that Hirrius members belong to different subfamilies. The genus is now split into four genera, with four new species. Hirrius (Tetrigidae: incertae sedis) now includes three species, one of which is new, all endemic to Mindanao, the Philippines: H. punctatus (Stål 1877), H. mindanaensis (Günther, 1938), and H. ruber Skejo, Patano et Kasalo sp. nov. A lectotype is designated for H. punctatus, because the type series was found to contain two different species belonging to two different genera. Three new genera are described. Genus Parahirrius Skejo, Patano et Kasalo gen. nov. (Tetrigidae: incertae sedis) consists of P. parvus Skejo, Patano et Kasalo sp. nov. and P. amorosus Skejo, Patano et Kasalo sp. nov., both endemic to Mindanao. Genus Zvierckia Skejo, Tumbrinck et Pushkar gen. nov. (Scelimeninae: Discotettigini) includes Z. montana (Günther, 1937), comb. nov., Z. sarasinorum (Günther, 1937), comb nov., and Z. storozhenkoi Skejo et Tumbrinck sp. nov., all endemic to Sulawesi. Genus Guentheracris Skejo, Tumbrinck et Pushkar gen. nov. (Tetrigidae: "Asian Metrodorinae") includes G. scrobiculata (Günther, 1937), comb. nov. from Sulawesi. Subapical antennomeres of Zvierckia storozhenkoi sp. nov. and Phaesticus mellerborgi (Stål, 1855) were scanned for the first time and compared to Discotettix belzebuth (Serville, 1838). Zvierckia gen. nov. and Discotettix Costa, 1864, both Scelimeninae: Discotettigini members, share many features of the antennal morphology, such as many basiconic sensilla on the antennal margins giving the ridge a saw-like impression. On the other hand, antennae of Phaesticus Uvarov, 1940 contain many elongated placoid sensilla, which are fully absent in the subapical widened segments of Zvierckia gen. nov. and Discotettix.
盘螽亚科最近被归并入棱螽亚科,但多系的希氏螽属(Hirrius Bolívar,1887)仍存在未解决的问题,该属有5个物种,为菲律宾和苏拉威西岛特有。除了亚顶端触角节、头部和前胸同样变宽外,其他特征表明希氏螽属的成员属于不同的亚科。该属现被分为4个属,还有4个新物种。希氏螽属(姬螽科:地位未定)现在包括3个物种,其中1个是新物种,均为菲律宾棉兰老岛特有:斑点希氏螽(H. punctatus,Stål 1877)、棉兰老希氏螽(H. mindanaensis,Günther,1938)和红色希氏螽(H. ruber Skejo、Patano和Kasalo,新物种)。为斑点希氏螽指定了一个选模,因为发现模式系列包含两个属于不同属的不同物种。描述了3个新属。帕拉希氏螽属(Parahirrius Skejo、Patano和Kasalo,新属)(姬螽科:地位未定)由小型帕拉希氏螽(P. parvus Skejo、Patano和Kasalo,新物种)和可爱帕拉希氏螽(P. amorosus Skejo、Patano和Kasalo,新物种)组成,均为棉兰老岛特有。兹维氏螽属(Zvierckia Skejo、Tumbrinck和Pushkar,新属)(棱螽亚科:盘螽族)包括蒙塔纳兹维氏螽(Z. montana,Günther,1937),新组合、萨拉西诺兹维氏螽(Z. sarasinorum,Günther,1937),新组合和斯托罗热恩科兹维氏螽(Z. storozhenkoi Skejo和Tumbrinck,新物种),均为苏拉威西岛特有。首次扫描了斯托罗热恩科兹维氏螽新物种和梅勒博格法氏螽(Phaesticus mellerborgi,Stål,1855)的亚顶端触角节,并与贝氏盘螽(Discotettix belzebuth,Serville,1838)进行了比较。新的兹维氏螽属和1864年的盘螽属(Discotettix Costa)均为棱螽亚科:盘螽族成员,它们在触角形态上有许多共同特征,如触角边缘有许多锥形感器,使脊呈现出锯齿状的印象。另一方面,1940年的法氏螽属(Phaesticus Uvarov)的触角包含许多细长的板状感器,而在新的兹维氏螽属和盘螽属的亚顶端加宽节段中则完全没有。
