Capnogryllacris latilamargis sp. nov., Chinese name ṀỪffiḏ⁂ (Figs. 1, 2) Description. Male. Body medium large. Head: Face ovoid, nearly smooth; fastigium verticis broader, about twice as wide as scapus. Eyes oval, ocelli indistinct. Second and third abdominal tergites on lteral areas without stridulatory pegs. Wings surpassing apices of hind knees. Left tegmen (Fig. 2A): Radius gives rise to radius sector in the middle, both forked near tips; media anterior with a common stem with radius, arising after basal quarter; cubitus anterior forks before basal third into two veins, CuA1 and CuA2; media posterior arises at about basal third of tegmen from CuA1; cubitus posterior undivided, free throughout; with 4 anal veins, the fourth with common stem with third anal vein. Right tegmen (Fig. 2B): Cubitus anterior at base single branched, after division into two branches before end of basal quarter, the anterior branch makes a curvature and receives a short connection branch from MA, shortly after it divides into MP and CuA1, which are running parallel; CuA2 without further division; cubitus posterior undivided, free throughout; with 4 anal veins, the fourth with common stem with third anal vein. Legs: Fore coxa with a small spine at anterior margin; fore and mid femora unarmed on ventral surfaces, tibiae with 4 pairs of large ventral spines and one pair of smaller ventral apical spurs. Hind femur with 9–10 external and 6–7 internal spines on ventral surface; hind tibia with 6 pairs of spines on dorsal surface; with 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs and a pair of dorsal apical spurs. Eighth abdominal tergite prolonged (Fig. 1D). Ninth abdominal tergite split in the midline, the lateral areas of the median furrow semi-globularly swollen, at ventro-apical margin on both sides with acute spines and crossing each other (Fig. 1F). Cerci long conical, apices acute. Subgenital plate wider than long, posterior margin little concave. Styli inserted at apico-lateral angles, faintly curved dorsad. Coloration. General color yellowish brown. Eyes black, clypeus and labrum light brown. Disc of pronotum along posterior margin with a broad black stripe (Fig. 1C), lateral lobes almost black (Fig. 1B).

Body: ♁ 31.5–32.0; pronotum: ♁ 6.0–6.2; tegmen: ♁ 33.0–36.0; hind femur: ♁ 14.8– 16.5. Discussion. The new species differs from the known species of Capnogryllacris by the disc of pronotum along posterior margin with a broad black stripe, and the lateral lobes almost black. Etymology. The name of the new species refers to posterior margin of pronotum with a broad black stripe, lateral lobes almost black; from Latin latil- (broad) and marg- (margin)., Published as part of Duan, Yue-Ting, Chen, Po-Wei & Shi, Fu-Ming, 2023, One new species of the genus Capnogryllacris Karny, 1937 (Orthoptera: Gryllacrididae) from China, pp. 297-300 in Zootaxa 5315 (3) on pages 298-299, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5315.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/8130692

Microtachycines tamdaonensis Gorochov, 1992 Fig. 1 Microtachycines tamdaonensis Gorochov & Storozhenko, 1992: 29.

Distribution Vietnam (Tamdao). Remarks We examined the type specimens of Microtachycines tamdaonensis in ZIN and discussed with Dr A.V. Gorochov. We are sure that the male tenth abdominal tergite has a large outgrowth in the middle and the male epiproct is semicircular. Moreover, we examined the type specimens of M. elongatus and M. trispinosus in SEMCAS. All abdominal tergites of the two species have no outgrowths, but they have an extended epiproct. Therefore, we establish a new genus, Megatachycines gen. nov., and transfer M. elongatus and M. trispinosus to it.

Diagnosis Body medium-sized for Aemodogryllini. Hind femur with inner spines on ventral surface. Male abdominal tergites without any processes. Male epiproct extended backward, distinctly longer than paraproct, quadrangular or pentagonal. Male paraproct slightly enlarged. Dorso-lateral lobes of male genitalia distinctly sclerotized. Male subgenital plate bilobed in the apical area. Female abdominal tergites without outgrowth. Remarks The new genus can easily be distinguished from other known genera of Aemodogryllini by the shapes of the male epiproct, dorso-lateral lobes of the male genitalia, and the male subgenital plate.

Neocyrtopsis (Paraneocyrtopsis) platycata – Wang H.J. et al. 2013: 182. Remarks The species was described by Shi & Zheng (1994) on the basis of a single specimen (holotype) collected in Emeishan (Sichuan). 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. However, after the species Neocyrtopsides bispina gen. et sp. 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). Distribution China (Sichuan).

Neocyrtopsis (Paraneocyrtopsis) platycata – Wang H.J. et al. 2013: 182. Remarks The species was described by Shi & Zheng (1994) on the basis of a single specimen (holotype) collected in Emeishan (Sichuan). 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. However, after the species Neocyrtopsides bispina gen. et sp. 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). Distribution China (Sichuan). Note The Chinese name of the species is Î板ffiùflḃễ (Kuang Ban Ni Xin Ci Xi Zhong).
