Three new Orthoptera, Ensifera (Hagloidea and Gry l l avoidea) from the Gres a Voltzia (Upper Buntsandstein, transition Lowe r / M i d d l e Triassic) of the Vosges (France) are described based on forewings. G a l l i agryllavus voge s i a c u s n.gen., n.sp. (Gry l l avidae) shows affi n ities with Gryllavus madyge n i c u s S H A ROV 1968 from the Triassic of Madygen (Kirghizistan). Tr i a s s o p a ra c y r t o p hyllites bifurc a t u s n.gen., n.sp. (Tuphellidae) displays some similarities with Pa racyrtophillites undulatus S H A ROV 1968 from the Upper Jurassic of Karatau (Kazakhstan). Vo l t z i a h agla pseudov e i n o s a n.gen., n.sp. (Haglidae) seems close to the genus A rch ab o i l u s M A RT Y N OV 1937 from the Lower Jurassic of Shurab (Ta d j i k i s t a n ) . These three Ensifera which belong to distinct families underscore the diversity of the Hagloidea and the Gry l l avoidea at the boundary b e t ween the Lower and Middle Triassic. A cladistic study would be necessary to determine the phy l ogenetical relationships between the d i fferent fa m i l i e s . Key wo rd s : Insecta. Orthoptera. Hagloidea. Gry l l avoidea. Fossil.
