Gryllodes (Grylloderes) Bolívar, 1894[1] Platygryllus is a genus of crickets in the subfamily Gryllinae.

[2][3] Records of species distribution (probably incomplete) include Africa, southern Europe and in Asia: India, Java and the Philippines.

Males of this genus transfer sperm to the female via a spermatophore which is externally attached to a females ovipositor.

Male P. supplicans guard females after spermatophore transfer to prevent the female from removing his spermatophore prematurely.

[4] The females of P. primiformis use premature spermatophore removal as a form of cryptic female choice leaving larger males' spermatophores attached for significantly longer than smaller males.
