Abstract

The paper describes one new species, i.e. Neocyrtopsis (Neocyrtopsis) emeishanensis Shi sp. nov., transfers Phlugiolopsis platycata Shi & Zheng, 1994 to the genus Neocyrtopsis and redescribes the species.

Three new genera and five new species of the tribe Meconematini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from Southwestern China

“…Later, in 2011, we collected many specimens of the species from the type locality. Wang H.J. et al (2013) determined the species should be placed in the genus Neocyrtopsis Liu & Zhang, 2007 because of the morphology of the male tenth abdominal tergite and genitalia.…”

“…nov. was discovered, it should be placed in the new genus because they differ from the genus Neocyrtopsis in the male epiproct, the tenth abdominal tergite, the genitalia and the subgenital plate morphology. The species was sufficiently described (see Wang H.J. et al 2013).…”

“…The tribe Meconematini Burmeister, 1838 is rich and diverse at the genus and species level in Southeast Asia (Gorochov 1993(Gorochov , 1998(Gorochov , 2014(Gorochov , 2015Sänger & Helfert 1996, 2000, 2004Ingrisch & Shishodia 1998, 2000Tan et al 2017;Tan & Wahab 2018) and East Asia (Xia & Liu 1992;Gorochov 2002Gorochov , 2005Gorochov , 2008Gorochov , 2011Gorochov , 2012Kano et al 1999;Liu 2000;Gorochov et al 2005;Wang H.J. et al 2013;Wang H.Q.…”

“…Liu (2007) and Liu et al (2008) studied the genus again, described 5 new species and transferred Thaumaspis yachowensis (Tinkham, 1994) and Phlugiolopsis platycata Shi & Zheng, 1994 to the genus. However, 4 species were transferred to other genera (Liu et al, 2010;Shi & Bian, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Wang, Cao et al 2013;Wang, Liu et al, 2013).…”
