Shen, Chu-Ze, Guo, Pei-Kun & He, Zhu-Qing, 2020, A pilot phylogeny study of Nemobiinae inferred from 18 S, 28 S and genes, with descriptions of two new genera and a new species from Hainan, China (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Trigonidiidae), Zootaxa 4778 (2), pp. 383-390 : 386-387

Genus Giganemobius Shen & He gen. nov.

( Fig. 2A,B )

Type species: Giganemobius jianfenglingensis ( Liu & Shi, 2016) comb. nov. = Pteronemobius jianfenglingensis Liu & Shi, 2016

Including species: type species only. (depository: Hebei University , China)

Diagnosis. This new genus is similar to Pteronemobius but is different in: the last inner spine not swollen at base but curved ( Liu & Shi, 2014 Fig. 8), apical parts of ectoparamers distinctly widened in Giganemobius but more or less acute in Pteronemobius ( Liu & Shi, 2014) .

Etymology. Giga - is in reference to its large body size comparing with Dianemobius and Polionemobius species.
