Abstract

In the present paper, two new species of Tetrigoidea are described. The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Shaanxi Normal University. 1. Criotettix torulisinotus , sp. nov. (Figs. 1~3) This new species is related to Criotettix damingshanensis Zheng et Jiang, but differs in: 1) width of vertex slightly narrower than the width of an eye; 2) antennae inserted between lower margins of eyes; 3) hind process of pronotum just extending the top of hind femur; 4) two sides of median carina with a pair of short longitudinal ridges between shoulders; 5) wings shorter, not reaching the apex of hind process of pronotum; 6) lower margins of fore and mid femora undulate; 7) preknee teeth right angular; 8) hind margin of female subge nital plate with three projecting. Length of body: ♂7.5 mm~8.0 mm; ♀10 mm~11 mm; Length of pronotum: ♂8.0 mm~8.5 mm; ♀8.0 mm~9.0 mm; Length of hind femur: ♂5.5 mm~6.0 mm; ♀6.0 mm~7.0 mm. Holotype ♀, paratypes 2♂♂,1♀,Yunnan: Xishuangbana, 24-Ⅶ-1998, collected by Wei Zhao ming and Liu Bo. 2. Tetrix baoshanensis , sp. nov. (Figs. 4~5) This new species is allied to Tetrix bolivari Sauley, but differs in: 1) vertex nearly equal to an eye in width; 2) anterior margin of vertex protruding before eyes, rounded; 3) in profile, frontal costa with vertex forming a round shape; 4) disc of pronotum densily with small tubercles and rugosity; 5) median keel interrupted in middle; 6) lateral keels slightly contracted behind. Length of body: ♀10.5 mm~10.7 mm; length of pronotum: ♀12.0 mm~12.5 mm; length of hind femur: ♀6.0 mm~6.5 mm. Holotype ♀, paratype 1♀, Yunnan: Baoshan, 10-Ⅷ-1998, collected by Wei Zhao Min.
