If you were in New Zealand, this would be a Weta, and if you were in South Africa, it would be a Parktown Prawn. The close relatives in Madagascar are simply called King Crickets and they are in the family Anostostomatidae. Here is a photo on Flickriver (http://www.flickriver.com/photos/artour_a/2610320874/) for comparison. We believe the larger mandibles on your specimen indicates it is a male.
