These species use to belong to the genus Paprides:
- Sigaus dugdali (Bigelow, 1967). A grasshopper species found in tussock above 400 m above sea level in the southern half of South Island New Zealand.
- Sigaus nitidus (Hutton, 1898) An alpine grasshopper species restricted to the northern two thirds of South Island New Zealand.
