Systematic position and composition of the endemic American tribe Paroecanthini are dis- cussed. This tribe is divided into two subtribes: Paroecanthina stat. nov. (from Paroecanthini Gorochov, 1986) and Tafaliscina stat. nov. (from Tafaliscinae Desutter, 1988). Five new gen- era, 24 new species and 6 new subspecies are described. Systematic position and distribution of true and possible taxa of Paroecanthini are clarified, and some of these taxa are redescribed. Orocharis eclectos Otte, 2006, syn. nov. is synonymised with Paroecanthus mexicanus Sau- ssure, 1859 which is restored as type species of Paroecanthus Saussure, 1859 according to origi- nal monotypy of this genus. Orocharis signatus Walker, 1869 and Carsidava Walker, 1869 are excluded from synonymy of P. mexicanus and Paroecanthus, respectively. Orocharis signatus is considered to be a probable synonym of P. aztecus aztecus Saussure, 1874. Carsidava and Chremon Rehn, 1930, syn. nov. are considered possible and evident synonyms of Ectotrypa Saussure, 1874, respectively. Angustitrella vicina (Chopard, 1912), sp. resurr. and A. picipes (Bruner, 1916), sp. resurr. are restored from synonymy of A. podagrosa (Saussure, 1897) and Siccotrella niger (Saussure, 1874), respectively. Lectotype of Amblyrhethus brevipes (Saussure, 1878) and type species of Metrypa Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1873 (Tafalisca lurida Walker, 1869) are designated. Pseudogryllus Chopard, 1912, gen. resurr. is restored from synonymy of Ta - falisca Walker, 1869. Обсуждены cистематическое положение и состав эндемичной американской трибы Paroecanthini. Эта триба подразделяется на две подтрибы: Paroecanthina stat. nov. (от Paroecanthini Gorochov, 1986) и Tafaliscina stat. nov. (от Tafaliscinae Desutter, 1988). Опи- саны 5 новых родов, 24 новых вида и 6 новых подвидов. Выяснены систематическое положение и распространение настоящих и возможных таксонов Paroecanthini, и неко- торые из этих таксонов переописаны. Orocharis eclectos Otte, 2006, syn. nov. синонимизи- рован с Paroecanthus mexicanus Saussure, 1859, который восстанавливается как типовой вид Paroecanthus Saussure, 1859 в связи с оригинальной монотипией этого рода. Orocharis signatus Walker, 1869 и Carsidava Walker, 1869 исключаются из синонимии P. mexicanus и Paroecanthus соответственно. Orocharis signatus предлагается считать вероятным сино- нимом P. aztecus aztecus Saussure, 1874. Carsidava и Chremon Rehn, 1930, syn. nov. рассма- триваются как возможный и явный синонимы Ectotrypa Saussure, 1874 соответственно. Angustitrella vicina (Chopard, 1912), sp. resurr. и A. picipes (Bruner, 1916), sp. resurr. ис- ключаются из синонимии A. podagrosa (Saussure, 1897) и Siccotrella niger (Saussure, 1874) соответственнно. Лектотип Amblyrhethus brevipes (Saussure, 1878) и типовой вид для Me- trypa Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1873 (Tafalisca lurida Walker, 1869) обозначаются. Pseudogryllus Chopard, 1912, gen. resurr. восстанавливается из синонимии Tafalisca Walker, 1869.
