Similameconema Yujie & Fuming 2018, gen. nov.
No full textSimilameconema gen. nov. Type species: Similameconema sinica (Liu & Wang, 1998), comb. nov. Generic diagnosis. Body small, medium size for the tribe Meconematini, relatively robust. Fastigium of vertex conical, apex obtusely rounded, dorsal surface with a longitudinal groove in the midline. Pronotum with an entire median carina, metazona moderately protruding, lateral lobe slightly longer than deep, ventral margin obtusely rounded, humeral sinus absent. Foretibial tympana bilaterally opened. Male 2nd to 5th abdominal tergites with tubercular projections; posterior margin of 10th abdominal tergite slightly projecting backwards, with a middle notch. Cercus slender, base with a stumpy conical process. Subgenital plate trapezoidal or pentagonal, styli long. Genitalia sclerotized. Female cercus unmodified, conical. Ovipositor smooth dorsally and ventrally, apices of ventral valvulae hook-shaped. Body yellowish green. Eyes brown. Posterior margin of pronotum with a pair of distinct brown spots. Discussion. The new genus is similar to the genus Nipponomeconema Yamasaki, 1983, main differences: pronotum with an entire median carina, lateral lobe slightly longer than deep, male 2nd to 5th abdominal tergites with tubular projections; the base of male cercus with a process; male genitalia sclerotized. The new genus is distinguished from the genus Meconema Serville, 1831 by the following combination of characters: male 2nd to 5th abdominal tergites with tubercular projections; the base of male cercus with a process; genitalia comparatively stout, apex thin; female subgenital plate without a median protrusion. Etymology. The name derived from the Latin words “simil” and “ meconema ” shows the genus is similar to the genus Meconema in appearance.Published as part of Yujie, Dou & Fuming, Shi, 2018, One new genus of the tribe Meconematini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from China, pp. 569-571 in Zootaxa 4429 (3) on pages 569-570, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4429.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/128511
Apterolarnaca truncatoloba Xun & Rong-Sheng & Fuming 2016, com. nov.

Map 1 http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:474289 Apotrechus truncatolobus Li & Liu, 2015 in: Li et al., 2015. ZooKeys, 482: 150. Apterolarnaca ovala Bian & Shi, 2015, Oriental Insects: 2, syn. nov. Type specimen: male; type locality: Damingshan, Wuming, Guangxi, China; location of type specimen: Shanghai Entomology Museum, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Distribution. China (Guangxi). Discussion. From etymology consideration, the species name is derived from Latin word truncat, Greek word lob, and masculine suffix -us meaning “roundly truncate lobes of male 9th abdominal tergite” (Li et al., 2015). After a careful examination of the type specimens of Apterolarnaca ovala, we found that the species was a synonym of Apotrechus truncatolobus Li & Liu, 2015 and Apotrechus truncatolobus should be transferred to the genus Apterolarnaca. According to the article of 34.2 the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (The Code, 1999), we replace the masculine suffix - us with feminine -a.Published as part of Xun, Bian, Rong-Sheng, Lu & Fuming, Shi, 2016, Review of the genus Apterolarnaca Gorochov (Orthoptera: Gryllacrididae) with proposal of a new synonym and description two new species, pp. 357-362 in Zootaxa 4079 (3) on pages 361-362, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4079.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/105081

The new specific name refers to the long and well developed wings. Remarks. The new species differs from N. vera Gorochov, 2004 in following: tegmina longer, reaching or slightly surpassing the apex of abdomen; pronotum with 1 narrow yellowish brown stripe along the midline; posterior margin of male subgenital plate with 1 obtuse-triangular concavity.Published as part of Xun Bian & Fuming Shi, 2016, Review of the genus Neolarnaca Gorochov, 2005 (Orthoptera: Gryllacrididae) from China, pp. 227-230 in Zoological Systematics 41 (2) on page 230, DOI: 10.11865/zs.201621, http://zenodo.org/record/27035
