Type species.

Goniogryllus punctatus Chopard, 1936 .

Diagnosis.

Average size; black head with yellow stripes extending from occiput, along eyes to lateral ocelli, the yellow stripes divided into two branches from the middle of eyes or no bifurcation; maxillary palpus all black or with yellow stripes on the apex of the 4 th joint and the dorsal side of the 5 th joint; pronotum all black or with yellow spots or stripes on both sides, glabrous or pubescent; no wings, scaly wings, short wings, or fully developed wings; abdomen glabrous or pubescent; long ovipositor.

Remarks.

The molecular analysis reveals that G. ovalatus, Q. striofemorus, and Q. jiguanshanensis form a cohesive clade with strong support. Morphologically, they share similarities such as processing a pair of yellow-brown longitudinal stripes on each side of the head, and the absence of a tympanum on the fore tibia. Moreover, their male genitalia exhibit resemblances. They are often found in the same collection sites (Fig. 2). Based on these findings, we conclude that Q. striofemorus and Q. jiguanshanensis are the long-wing forms of G. ovalatus . We treat Qingryllus syn. as a junior synonym of Goniogryllus . Additional information can be found in the diagnosis of G. ovalatus . A diagnosis for species is provided in Table 2.
