The new species is similar to Xizicus (Eoxizicus) uncicercus Mao & Shi, 2015 and Xizicus (Eoxizicus) dischidus Di, Han & Shi, 2015, but can be distinguished from them in male cerci with a long inner process and posterior margin of tenth abdominal tergite without process. Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the morphology of male cercus. Latin “ furca ” means bifurcate, indicating the bifurcate shape of cercus.Published as part of Cui, Peng, Liu, Qing & Shi, Fuming, 2020, Two new species of the genus Xizicus Gorochov, 1993 (Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae: Meconematini) from Gaoligongshan, Yunnan, China, pp. 44-50 in Zootaxa 4748 (1) on pages 44-50, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4748.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/369757
