Divided the genus Tachycines Adelung (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae: Aemodogryllinae; Aemodogryllini) from China

This work involves revised analysis of Karnys classification system in 1934 of the genus Tachycines Adelung, 1902 including the two subgenera: Tachycines (Tachycines) s. str. Adelung, 1902 and Tachycines (Gymnaeta) Adelung, 1902. We also describe 11 new species of Tachycines (Tachycines): Tachycines (Tachycines) karnyi sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) maximus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) multispinosus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) xiai sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) bilobatus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) trilobatus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) transversus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) incisus sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) yanlingensis sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) baiyunjianensis sp. nov., Tachycines (Tachycines) sichuanensis sp. nov.. A key to the subgenera of Tachycines Adelung, 1902 and a key to the species of Tachycines (Tachycines) are provided.

A new genus of Rhaphidophorinae (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae) from China

In this article, a new genus Sinorhaphidophora gen. nov., three new combinations: Sinorhaphidophora hainanensis (Bian Shi, 2016) comb. nov., Neorhaphidophora brevispinula (Bian, Zhu Shi, 2017) comb. nov., Neorhaphidophora longispinula (Bian, Zhu Shi, 2017) comb. nov. and three new species of Rhaphidophora Audinet-Serville, 1838: Rhaphidophora quadridentata sp. nov., Rhaphidophora setiformis sp. nov., Rhaphidophora wuzhishanensis sp. nov. are proposed. Keys to all genera of Rhaphidophorinae and all species of Rhaphidophora from China are given. And the female of Rhaphidophora sichuanensis Liu Zhang, 2002 is also added.

Review of the genus Microtachycines Gorochov with two new species (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae, Aemodogryllinae) from China

This work involves a review of the genus Microtachycines, including descriptions of two new species: Microtachycines elongatus sp. nov., Microtachycines fallax sp. nov.. A key to the species of Microtachycines is presented.

A new genus of the tribe Aemodogryllini (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae, Aemodogryllinae) from China

In this paper, a new genus Gymnaetoides gen. nov. is described for the new species Gymnaetoides testaceus sp. nov. from Zhejiang. Therefore, two new combinations of this genus result, including Gymnaetoides indivisus (Zhang & Liu, 2009) comb. nov. and Gymnaetoides acutilobatus (Gorochov, 2010) comb. nov..
