Abstract
AbstractThe Phaloriini (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae: Phaloriinae) species are tropical crickets distributed in Southeast Asia, northern Australia, western Oceania, Seychelles, Gabon, and Tanzania, whose body appears lute-like and brown with dark patches and whose legs are ornamented with ring-like patches. This tribe includes 12 genera and three of them,GorochoviusXie, Zheng, and Li, 2004,TrelliusGorochov, 1988, andVesceliaStål, 1877, are found in China.Gorochovius trinervusXieet al. 2004,Phaloria liangiXie and Zheng, 2003, andVescelia pieli(Chopard, 1939) were the only species of Phaloriini recorded in China in previous studies. Here,P. liangiis transferred into the genusVesceliabased on genitalia features, three new distribution records regarding genus and subgenera are reported, and two new species,Trellius(Trellius)guangdongensisMa and Jing,new speciesandTrellius(Neotrellius)yunnanensisMa and Jing,new speciesare described. Five Chinese Phaloriini species are described and illustrated here, and a key to female Phaloriini worldwide genera and subgenera is provided.
