Abstract

In the presen paper, three genera of Acridinae are described as new from Heng-duan Shan Range. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Acade-mia Sinica. Nivisacris gen. nov.Type species: Nivisacris zhongdianensis sp. nov.The new genus is allied to Ptygonotus Tarb., but differs in: 1) elytra strongly shortened, apex reaching or not reaching posterior margin of metanotum; 2) abdominal te-rgites with wave ridges on sides; 3) shape of epiphallus different; 4) lower valve of ovipositor in basal part without projection.Nivisacris zhongdianensis sp. nov.

Asulconotoides gen. nov.Type species: Asulconotoides sichuanensis sp. nov.The new genus is allied to Asulconotus Yin and Podismopsis Zub. but differs in: 1) elytra of male longer, apex slightly not reaching middle of hind femur; 2) posterior margin of pronotum slightly incurved or straight; 3) last abdominal tergite of male with a pair of distinct projections.
