Nowadays about 25,000 valid species are known for the order Orthoptera, which is divided in two suborders: Caelifera and Ensifera. The subfamily Nemobiinae (Orthoptera: Ensifera: Grylloidea: Trigonidiidae) has been the most abundant group among the Orthoptera that inhabits the Neotropical forest litter. For this group 293 valid species are known, distributed in six tribes and 51 genera; however only seven genera have their occurrence registered for Brazil (Argizala Walker, 1869; Hemigryllus Saussure, 1877; Pteronemobius Jacobson & Bianchi, 1904; Hygronemobius Hebard, 1915; Zucchiella De Mello, 1990; Phoremia Desutter-Grandcolas, 1993 and Amanayara of Mello & Jacomini, 1994). In the State of Minas Gerais only three of these seven genera (Amanayara, Phoremia and Zucchiella) had their occurrence confirmed, but no new species had been described yet. In this work, are described three new species for the genus Amanayara, two for Phoremia and one for Zucchiella, all found at the Atlantic Forest remnants of Minas Gerais, increasing the biogeographical distribution of these three genera. Together with the descriptions, distribution maps and taxonomic keys for the genera are presented.
