Type Material

HOLOTYPE: ♂, CHINA: Guangxi: Fangcheng District, Nanshan mountain (N 21° 62′ E 108° 27′), 100–400m, 16-VII-2006, collected by Guo-Fang Jiang. PARATYPE: 1♂, 3♀ ♀, same data as the holotype.

Diagnosis

This new species is similar to Macromotettix longtanensis (Zheng & Jiang 2003) and M. wuliangshana (Zheng & Ou 2003), but differs in the following characteristics: 1) upper margins of antennal fossa and lower margins of eyes at the same horizontal line; 2) in profile, median carinae of the pronotum arched between transverse sulci and humeral angles; 3) hind process of the pronotum slightly exceeding top of hind femur; 4) lateral carinae constricted backward on the prozona; 5) disc of the pronotum without short longitudinal carinae; 6) ventro-cephalad angle of lateral lobes of the pronotum circular arc; 7) wings slightly exceeding the apex of hind process of pronotum; 8) basal half of the dorsal median carinae of pronotum smooth, the other half with fine teeth. Because no males of M. longtanensis or M. wuliangshana were available for study, only the female characters above were compared.

Coloration. Body brown. Occiput and transverse sulci of pronotum black brown, part behind humeral angles with black brown transverse spots. Fore and middle femora and tibiae with 2 black brown spots respectively, top of the first and second tarsi dark. Dorsal margin and outside of hind femora with 3 black brown spots, the basal spots small and undistinct, ventral side black brown; knee black brown. Hind tibiae light brown, with light rings on the base and middle sections of tibiae; ends of the first and second segments and the entire third segment of pulvillus black brown. Wings dark brown.

Humeral apex ridge and lower margin of pronotum connected behind the middle of lower margin of pronotum. Lateral lobes of pronotum become warped, anterior angles of lateral lobes circular arc; posterior margin of each lateral lobe with 2 pits.

Tegmina ovate-oblong, apex round-obtuse shaped. Wings developed, reaching or slightly extending past apex of pronotal posterior process. Subgenital plate short cone-shaped.

Dorsal margins of fore and middle femora slightly curved, ventral margin nearly straight; the greatest width of mid-femur slightly wider than width of visible parts of tegmina, proportion 1:0.75–0.85. Hind femora of robustness, length 2.8 times greater than the depth; subapical teeth in front of the knee acute angulate, knee teeth angulate; the basal half of the dorsal carinae of hind femora smooth, the apical half with fine teeth. Dorsal and ventral margins and faces of the 3 pairs of femora with fine hairs. Outer side of hind tibia with 8-9 spines, inner side with 7–9 spines. Length of first segment of the hind tarsus longer than the third, length of the third pulvillus under the first segment almost equal to summation of length of the first and second pulvillus; apices of 3 pulvilli obtuse.

Female

Wings developed, slightly passing the apex of hind process of pronotum. Ovipositor narrow and short, length of dorsal ovipositor 2.5 times width of ventral ovipositor, margin with small teeth. The breadth of the subgenital plate greater than its length, with small acute angle projecting in the middle of posterior margin. Other characters similar to male.

HOLOTYPE: 1♂, CHINA: Guangxi: Fangcheng District, Station of Shangyue (N 21° 62′ E 108° 27′), 80–100 m, 15-VII-2006, collected by Jian-Wen Liu. PARATYPE: 1♀, same data as the holotype.

Diagnosis

This new species is allied to Coptotettix fangchengensis (Zheng &Jiang 2002b), but differs in the following: 1) no abbreviated carinaes behind shumeri on the dorsum surface; 2) Inner side of hind tibia with 9–12 spines;.3) color of all femora and wings dark.

Coloration. Body dark green. On the pronotal dorsum, lateral region of each lateral carinae of prozona black, and humeri with 2 longitudinal triangular black spots outside abbreviated carinaes. Color of all femora and wings dark. Body color of female same as coloration of male, but the humeri of pronotum without longitudinal black spots.

Male

Antennae filiform, situated the vental one-third of the anterior margin of eyes, 14-segmented, length of a segment in middle about 5 times greater than width. Eyes globose, lateral ocelli situated on the dorsal onethird of anterior margins of eyes.

Pronotum relatively flat, frontal margin of pronotum slightly projecting as obtuse triangle; median carina completed, lateral carinae parallel on prozona, the prozona nearly square; humeri forming an obtuse triangle, with a pair of abbreviated carinaes between humeri.
