- Abstract
The genus Diestramima comprises 41 species from Asia with 31 species distributed in China. In this study, we reconstruct the phylogeny tree of Diestramima species by maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference based on three mitochondrial genes (COI, 12S and 16S). The result indicates that the phylogenetic results are coherent with that based on five molecular markers (COI, 12S, 16S, 18S and 28S). Moreover, two new species, D. pingmengensis sp. nov. He & Zong and D. gulinjingensis. sp. nov. Zong & He are described. Their validities are also supported by morphological features. Furthermore, D. sichuanensis Zhu & Shi, 2022 is treated as a junior synonym of D. guangxiensis Qin, Wang, Liu & Li, 2016 based on both morphological and molecular features.

- Abstract
We report five new Myanmar amber specimens attributable to "Mole Cricket" †Pherodactylus rectanguli n. comb., hitherto regarded as a Mole Cricket (Orthoptera: Grylloptalpidae). The new material includes two adult males, two adult females, and one nymph. The specimens are redescribed, and additional new characters are provided for their delimitation and corresponding species identification. We carry out a comparison between these new specimens with other taxa of mole crickets from Myanmar amber and extant true crickets. The result indicates that some species merely represent different nymphal development stages or adults of †Pherodactylus rectanguli n. comb., however, they were misidentified as different species. We also treated genera †Tresdigitus n. syn. and †Chunxiania n. syn. as synonyms of genus †Pherodactylus Poinar, Su & Brown, 2020, and treat †Tresdigitus gracilis Jiang, Xu, Jarzembowski & Xiao, 2022 n. syn. and †Chunxiania fania n. syn. as synonyms of †Pherodactylus rectanguli n. comb. †Burmagryllotalpa longa is valid, because its shape of the pronotum curved without lateral carinae. The morphological convergences and specializations of subterranean dwelling species are discussed. The robust fore tibia and long apical spurs of †P. micromorphus, †P. rectanguli n. comb. and †B. longa are insufficient evidence for an assignment to the family Gryllotalpidae. Instead, we suggest place them into the subfamily Gryllinae (Gryllidae), tribe Sclerogryllini, and group them into their own subtribe Pherodactylina n. subtr.. A key to the identification of recent and fossil Sclerogryllini is also provided. Their taxonomy and morphology are discussed.

- Abstract
The genus Phyllotrella Gorochov, 1988 presently comprises four described species, P. planidorsalis Gorochov, 1988, P. fumingi Sun & Liu, 2019, P. hainanensis Sun & Liu, 2019 and P. transversa Sun & Liu, 2019. In this study, the results of this genus are based on molecular and morphological features. The molecular result shows that the genetic distance among these individuals from different areas was 0.767%-1.386%. Thus, we consider them as same species. However, based on the similarities and differences of their male genitalia, we suggest treat these species as two subspecies P. planidorsalis planidorsalis (= P. hainanensis syn. nov. and P. transversa syn. nov.) and P. planidorsalis fumingi stat. nov.

- Abstract
The phylogenetic tree of Chinese Trigonidiinae species was reconstructed based on one mitochondrial fragment (COI) and two nuclear ribosomal loci (18S and 28S). According to the concatenated trees, we define four genus groups with high nodal supports. The subgenus Paratrigonidium should be upgraded to genus status. A new genus Abstrigonidium He gen. nov. is established and Paratrigonidium chloropodum is selected as type species (A. chloropodum comb. nov.). Amusurgus (Paranaxipha) fujianensis is moved to genus Sectus as S. fujianensis comb. nov. A new species named as Emerasoma curvicerca He gen. et sp. nov. is reported. It differs from other genera by asymmetric genitalia, and lacking stridulatory files and mirror. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

- Abstract
Most male crickets can produce songs mostly for attracting females. Songs are specific among species,. this depending on physiology and the structural characteristics of the forewings. Nevertheless, some species belonging to subfamily Gryllinae have lost their singing abilities (mute species). Chinese examples include Agryllus spp., Conoblemmus spp., Goniogryllus spp. and Callogryllus yunnanus. Males of these genera are either wingless or have forwings similar to those of females. These crickets have been poorly studied in China. In this study, we describe one new genus Asonicogryllus He gen. nov. with a new species Asonicogryllus kwanghua sp. nov. from western Yunnan. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

- Abstract
It is difficult to distinguish the genera Svistella and Paratrigonidium on the basis of morphology. Gorochov postulated that Svistella spp. possess the following identification characters: posterior lateral lobes of epiphallus long and narrow at apex, guide rod elongate, attachment plate of the spermatophore consisting of three sclerites (a narrow middle sclerite bearing no protruding structure, and a pair of lateral ones extending to the sides). These features have not been extensively evaluated. In this study, the COI gene was sequenced and was used as a DNA marker to distinguish two genera. The results showed that each genus formed a monophyly, respectively. One new species, Svistella fuscoterminata sp. nov., was found in Yunnan, China. Although its genitalia were similar to that of Paratrigonidium spp., the molecular result supported the new species belonging to Svistella. The specimens are deposited in East China Normal University, Biology of History Museum (ECNU) and Shanghai Entomological Museum (SEM).

† Pherodactylus rectanguli (Xu, Fang & Wang, 2020) n. comb. Figs. 1–6 = † Chunxiania fania Xu, Wang & Fang, 2022 n. syn. = † Tresdigitus gracilis Jiang, Xu, Jarzembowski & Xiao, 2022 n. syn. General description. Male (based on specimens ECNU-AM-0019 and ECUN-AM-0010, Figs. 1–3). Smallsized (8.07 mm.). Predominantly yellowish coloration with grayish and black spots. Cephalic capsule with dorsal surface (from vertex to fastigium) and upper area of frons with dark brown to black stripes; area surrounding ocelli, mandibles, lower margin of genae, and frons ocher; ocelli yellow; eyes greyish. Frons with a yellow inverted “Y”, * for the data may be doubtful due to different measurement method. starting from vertex, dividing at fastigium, and branching to the inner margin of each lateral ocellus. Pronotal disc greyish brown, with black corner rims and delimiting pronotal disc from lateral lobes; pronotal disk with two distinct large dark “eyespots”. Lateral lobes of pronotum with upper half grayish brown and lower half yellowish. All legs are yellowish with black or grayish spots, irregularly scattered, most noticeable on femora. Tegminae translucent, with veins outlined in light yellow. Abdomen yellowish covered by various black or grayish spots. Body covered with short or mid-sized fine hairs. Head as wide as pronotum, rounded and smooth; almost as wide as high in frontal view, with epistomal suture little concave. Vertex rounded. Eyes ovoid, not protruding. Lateral ocelli circular, central ocellus absent. Eyes and antennal pits located very low on face, close to epistomal suture, almost at the same level. Fastigium wide, almost four times as wide as scape. Maxillary palpi with the 4 th and 5 th longer, apical segment of labial palpi flattened. Thorax. Pronotum longer than wide, covered by several and mid-sized hairs; anterior margin concave and broader than posterior margin, with long bristles; lateral lobules rectangular, wider than high and with a rounded lateral edge, ventral margin almost straight. Wings. Tegmina short and ovoid, reaching to the second abdominal tergite. Mirror in oval shape, longer than wide, with a curved dividing vein; harp with three dividing veins; apical field reduced; lateral field two longitudinal veins from base to apex, and ten transversal veins born from the second longitudinal vein to costal margin. Hind wings no visible. Legs. Coxa and trochanter not elongated. Foreleg robust with long setae, large and oval tympana in both sides, on middle of fore tibiae; three movable dactyls on apical part of fore tibiae, first tarsomere almost as long as fore tibiae, other two tarsomere short. Mid leg slender, coxa robust, with a process partly covering trochanter; femur slightly slenderer than fore femur; tibia slightly inflated, shorter than femur, armed at apex with three inner spurs and two outer spurs. Hind leg elongated, femur strong, tibia with several small spines on dorsal side at apex. Three internal apical spurs long, and two external apical spurs short. The first and third tarsomere long and the second one short. Abdomen cylindrical; tergites with few short hairs; epiproctus subtriangular, apex rounded; subgenital plate short, wider than long, apex rounded; cerci almost as long as the two-thirds of hind tibia, covered by abundant medium-sized hairs. Female (emended description; based on specimens ECNU-AM-0002 and ECUN-AM-0024, Figs. 4, 5). Similar to the males in shape and size, differing by the following characters: the color tones are darker than the males, but keep the same pattern. Tegmina absent. Abdomen with hairs and several long bristles on dorsal side. Epiproct triangular, with rounded posterior margin. Ovipositor almost straight, apex of valves sharp, pointed, and lanceolate in dorsal view. Subgenital plate trapezoidal, apex moderately protruding. Male nymph (based on specimen ECNU-AM-0045, Fig. 6). Similar to the adult males, but no developed wings, with a more fragile and slender appearance. It differs from the adults, because the tympana are smaller in diameter than the other adult specimens examined. The small tympana in immature specimens can happen. This structure increases its size in adults. Measurements (mm). Adult male ECNU-AM-0019 (Fig. 1, 2): BL: 8.07; HL: 1.07; PL: 1.57; PW: 1.43; FWL: 2.18; FFL: 1.61; FTL: 1.04; MFL: 1.41; MTL: 1.09; HFL: 3.15; HTL: 1.82; AL: 5.14; CL: 2.26.

Nymph ECNU-AM-0045 (Fig. 6): BL: 5.22; HL: 0.87; PL: 1.33, PW: uncertain; FFL: 1.40; FTL: 0.83; MFL: 0.97, MTL: 0.82; HFL: 2.49; HTL: 1.71; AL: 3.25; CL: 1.67. Remarks. Synonymy and new combination at the species level are justified as follows: 1) † P. micromorphus Poinar et al. 2020 is a subadult female specimen, which looks different in the shape of the pronotum in contrast to the holotype of † P. rectanguli n. comb. (a subadult male). However, when the photos of specimens are taken from different angles, an optical effect will be caused, which confuses us to consider them as different shapes. This can be happened in the additional specimens of † P. rectanguli n. comb. studied here. The fore tibia does not vary in both specimens. Only in the holotype of P. rectangulari n. comb., a bending of the ventral edge is observed, but this can happen due to dehydration during fossilization. However, we prefer to keep this species as valid, since the subadult female holotype specimen of † P. micromorphus had a wing pad, which is different from the adult females of † P. rectangulari n. comb. 2) † C. fania n. syn. is an adult male specimen. In the images of the original description, its diagnostic characters coincide with † P. rectanguli n. comb. in terms of the shape of fore tibia, apical spurs organization and shape, and location of the spurs of hind tibia. The hind tibiae are thin and moderately elongated, and the shape of pronotum and its spots coincide in these specimens. Unfortunately, the venation of † C. fania n. syn. is not observed due to preservation.Although the subgenital plate of † C. fania n. syn. dehydrated in fossilization process and coiled dorsally, it still could be observed in a triangular shape, which is similar to those of field crickets in a semicircle shape. 3) † Tresdigitus gracilis n. syn. is a nymph of indefinite sex (possibly female in penultimate or ultimate instar), not as developed as the two “species” previously synonymized. In the key presented in the original description by Jiang et al., 2022, the arrangement of head and the shape of pronotum are some of the characters proposed by the authors to distinguish the species from † P. rectanguli n. comb. The disposition of the head can vary in the way that insects die, and thus remains when fossilized. In contrast to † P. rectanguli n. comb., its head is in a normal position, locating mouthparts down (hypognathous/ hypognathous mandible). Other characters that stand out in † T. gracilis n. syn. is the moderately expanded fore tibia, and the small tympanum. However, it is common for crickets that they are different in these characters in their early stages. Through molting and growth, the tympanum becomes larger, and the tibiae attains the shape final in the last stages of insect development (Table 2; Ball and Cowan, 1978). In this study, we provide well-preserved males, females, and nymphal specimens, in which most of the morphological characters can be studied. It is applicable to verify the similarities and differences with the other recently described fossil taxa of “Mole Crickets” with those specimens. In terms of coloration, it was feasible to show that the coloration of † P. micromorphus is similar to those of the two males studied here. † P. rectanguli n. comb. has the same color pattern, but its image was darker in the original description (possibly due to a lack of brightness or light from the photographic record). For † C. fania n. syn., the same issue happened as mentioned above. All the specimens in the different stages of development have similar coloration, with two distinct large dark “eyespots” of similar shape; lower half of the anterior lobe of the yellow pronotum; shape and location of apical spurs of fore tibia; hind tibia serrulate with small spines; apex with conspicuous slender spines. The number of dorsal spines on legs is not reliable classification characters due to its intraspecific variation, which may be different from one leg to the other leg on one specimen (Cadena-Castañeda et al. 2022b). We consider † Pherodactylus micromorphus and † P. rectanguli n. comb. as valid genus and species. Both genera were described in 2020, and the original description of † P. micromorphus is available on March of 2020, while † Tresdigitus rectanguli is published on August of 2020. It is worth noting that Poinar et al. (2020) proposed a more reasonable taxonomic placement of its genus and species than the other authors, consisting with our results discussed and analyzed here. † Burmagryllotalpa longa is proposed to move under Gryllidae: Gryllinae: Sclerogryllini: Pherodactylina n. subtr. Although this species shares some morphologies with † Pherodactylus species, † B. longa completely lacks tympanum, and its pronotum is dorsally curved without spots on pronotal disc that characterize † Pherodactylus species. Thus, we consider † B. longa as valid.

Tribe Sclerogryllini Gorochov, 1985 Remarks. This tribe was described by Saussure (1877) as “Légion des Scléropterites”, including Acanthoplistus Saussure, 1877, and Scleropterus Haan, 1844. Subsequently, this taxon was treated as a subfamily by Shiraki (1930), and this status was followed by Chopard (1934, 1936) and Desutter (1987). Gorochov (1985) proposed a new name Sclerogryllus for Scleropterus Haan, 1844, which has been used for Scleropterus Schoenherr, 1825 (Coleoptera). At the same time, Gorochov also established the tribal status as Sclerogryllini, with Sclerogryllus as the type genus under Gryllinae. Otte (1994) argued that according to the nomenclatural change proposed by Gorochov, the subfamily name should be changed to Sclerogryllinae. Otte used the name Sclerogryllinae for the first time, and this was followed by Storozhenko et al. (2015). Recently, Yu et al. (2022) published a complete mitochondrial genome of cricket Sclerogryllus punctatus. By phylogenetic analysis, they verified that Sclerogryllus was grouped within the Gryllinae clade. Therefore, Sclerogryllinae should be treated as a synonym of Gryllinae, and Gorochov’s tribe Sclerogryllini under Gryllinae is recommended rather than a different subfamily from field crickets. Sclerogryllini is a monogeneric tribe, with five species distributed in Asia. Rhabdotogryllus caraboides Chopard, 1954 from Guinea (Africa), is only known from its holotype female, and no additional records have been reported since its description. R. caraboides is superficially similar to Sclerogryllus females, but possessing more conspicuous dorsal spurs on the hind tibia. Thus, the homology of Rhabdotogryllus and Sclerogryllus is still a question, and Sclerogryllini probably only occurs in Asia. Here, we propose a new fossil subtribe that more closely resembles extant Sclerogryllini species in morphology than any other tribal taxon of field crickets. Additionally, a key to separate the taxa of the tribe is provided., Published as part of Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Liu, Yi-Jiao, Yu, Zhe-Yuan, Hu, Tian-Hao, Wu, Shi-Yang & He, Zhu-Qing, 2023, Are the recently described fossil Mole Crickets of Myanmar amber real gryllotalpids?

The scaly crickets, Mogoplistinae, form a monophyletic group of crickets and are characterised by scales covering the integument. In many species, males have modified forewings for producing highly tonal calling songs. Despite being a highly speciose and abundant group of orthopterans in tropical forests, data on their calling songs and studies on their bioacoustics remain scanty. In this study, we recorded and described the calling songs of seven sympatric scaly cricket species belonging to three genera—Cycloptiloides, Ectatoderus and Ornebius—from Singapore. We compared call structure and call parameters of syntopic species occurring together in the same locality within Singapore and found that syntopic congeners exhibit acoustic partitioning to avoid inter-specific competition for the acoustic space. We also found that calling songs can be highly varied among congeners and species from the same species groups. Finally, we also observed that syllable duration and peak frequency exhibit vastly different allometric relationships with body size. Larger scaly cricket species bear disproportionately longer syllable duration, but not differences in peak frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hind tibia slightly shorter than hind femur, armed with 4 pairs of dorsal spurs; anal plate concave in the base (Fig. 3C); cercus little shorter than hind tibia. Genitalia: Epiphallus possessing a notch in middle, the lateral lobes of epiphallus curved inwards and upwards, and narrower than ectoparamere in lateral view (Fig. 5A–C). Female. Unknown. Coloration. Body uniformly black with the base of hind tibiae reddish brown (Fig. 2). Measurements (in mm). Male: body length (from head to anus) 16.59–16.90, pronotum length 3.22–3.93, forewing length 9.26–9.68, hind femur length 11.57–12.13. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Natural history. This species digs tunnels on slopes beside a road, and males sing near the entrance at night as Tarbinskiellus and Gymnogryllus species. The hole is as broad as the specimen’s size, and two hairs probably touch the wall of its tunnel for detecting vibration. Etymology. The species name bisetus refers to two filiform hairs on each foretibia., Published as part of Liu, Yi-Jiao & He, Zhu-Qing, 2022, First report of a cricket with filiform hairs on foretibia (Orthoptera: Gryllidae Gryllinae), pp. 583-588 in Zootaxa 5125 (5) on pages 585-586, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5125.5.8, http://zenodo.org/record/6457447

genus Fodigryllus He gen. nov. ŔṞM Type species: Fodigryllus bisetus He sp. nov. Include species: type only. Diagnosis. Among the Gryllinae genera, this new genus described here is average sized with a black coloration. It possesses tympana on outside tibia and well developed forewing with mirror. Two filiform hairs on foretibia are its unique feature. General appearance is close to that of Vietacheta, but the ectoparamere of the new genus is little wider than the lateral lobes of epiphallus in lateral view, while the ectoparamere of Vietacheta is covered by the lateral lobes of epiphallus. The genitalia are also similar to that of Phonarellus, but the epiphallus of Phonarellus does not possess notch in middle. Compared with Gymnogryllus, the new genus is smaller in size. Furthermore, the ectoparamere of Gymnogryllus is longer, while that of the new genus is shorter than the lateral lobe of epiphallus. Its genitalia are also similar to those of Apterosvercus, while the latter has no tympana or wings. Molecular results supported the validation of the new genus Fodigryllus He gen. nov. (Fig. 1). Descriptions see species part. Etymology. The genus name is derived from Latin Fodi- (dig) + gryllus, which refers to its burrowing habit., Published as part of Liu, Yi-Jiao & He, Zhu-Qing, 2022, First report of a cricket with filiform hairs on foretibia (Orthoptera: Gryllidae Gryllinae), pp. 583-588 in Zootaxa 5125 (5) on pages 584-585, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5125.5.8, http://zenodo.org/record/6457447
