Abstract

This paper reports two new species of the genus Bolivaritettix Gunther from Yunnan,China.The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Zoology,Shaanxi Normal University,China.Bolivaritettix nigropennis sp.nov.(Figs.1-3)This new species is allied to B.hutiaoxiana Zheng et Ou,2003,but it differs from the latter in:1)antennae inserted one third of anterior margin of eyes;2)in profile,upper margin of pronotum wave-like;3)hind wings surpassing apex of hind process of prontum;4)midfemur as wide as tegmina;5)middle of posterior margin of female subgenital plate with a triangular process.Length of body:♂ 8.8-9.0mm,♀ 11mm.Length of pronotum:♂ 11.7-12.0mm,♀ 13mm.Length of hind femur:♂ 6.0-6.5mm,♀ 7mm.Holotype ♀,Yunnan Maguan(Mabai)(23°N,104.4°E,alt.1100m),30 July 2005,collected by DENG Wei-An.Paratypes:5♂♂,collected by DENG Wei-An and WEI Shi-Zhen,other data same as holotype.Etymology.The species name is derived from the Latin nigro and pennis,meaning wings black.Bolivaritettix daweishanensis sp.nov.(Figs.4-6)This new species is similar to B.interrupta Zheng et Jiang,2002 and Bolivaritettix jiuwanshanensis Zheng,2005,but differs from the latter in:1)antennae inserted one third of anterior margin of eyes;2)lateral keels of prozona parallel;3)in profile,upper margin of pronotum wave-like;4)hind process reaching one third of hind tibia;5)lower margins of fore femur and midfemur wave-like;6)width of midfemur same as tegmina;7)middle of posterior margin of female subgenital plate with a triangular process;8)lower side on out margin of hind femur black.Length of body:♂ 10.5mm,♀ 10.5-11.0mm.Length of pronotum:♂11mm,♀11.0-11.5mm.Length of hind femur:♂ 6 mm,♀ 6.5mm.Holotype ♀,Yunnan Pingbian(Daweishan)(23.1°N,103.8°E,alt.2300m),26 July 2005,collected by DENG Wei-an.Paratypes:1♂,data as same as holotype;1♀,Yunnan Hekou(Nanxi),alt.200m,28 July 2005,collected by DENG Wei-An.Etymology.The species name refers to the type locality.
