Diagnosis.

No wings, scaly wings, or fully developed wings; pronotum pubescent, if no wings or scaly wings, mesonotum and metanotum pubescent, abdomen pubescent in females, but only the first three segments of abdomen pubescent in males, if fully developed wings, mesonotum, metanotum and abdomen glabrous (Fig. 3 A – C ); yellow stripes on head without bifurcation (Fig. 4 A – C ); maxillary palpus black with yellow stripes on the apex of the 4 th joint and the dorsal side of the 5 th joint (Fig. 5 A – C ); male genitalia: apical part of epiphallus with two divided lobes, the inside of lobes prominent (Fig. 6 C, D ).

Remarks.

Qingryllus contains two species, Q. striofemorus and Q. jiguanshanensis based on the width of the posterior margin of pronotum and the color of veins of tegmina (Fig. 3 B, C ; Liu et al. 2017). Based on these features, we temporally classified our samples as different “ species ”, but sequences of the COI gene of these “ species ” were almost the same. Moreover, G. ovalatus individuals were sometimes found in the same habitat as Q. striofemorus (HZQ personal observation). Thus, we consider Q. striofemorus syn. nov. and Q. jiguanshanensis syn. nov. as junior synonyms of G. ovalatus .
