03E28F7DD530FFB5FF0BF90C92ADFBC1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species bears similar appearance with Polionemobius flavoantennalis Shiraki, 1911, but the base of antennae of this species are dark brown, while P. flavoantennalis has a white section at the base of antennae. In dorsal view of male genitalia (Figs. 3 A, 4 A), epiphallus of P. ebony is narrower than P. flavoantennalis and the end of ectoparamere inward curved. In lateral view (Figs. 3 B, 4 B), the dorsal lobe of both ectoparamere angular, the ventral lobe of P. ebony is more ossified than that of P. flavoantennalis, and the ventral lobe is almost flush with the dorsal lobe, while the ventral lobe of P. flavoantennalis is significantly longer than the dorsal.	en	Wu, Qian, Ma, Li-Bin (2022): A new species of pygmy crickets and synonyms of a genus and a species of sword-tail crickets (Orthoptera: Trigonidiidae: Nemobiinae and Trigonidiinae) from China.

03E28F7DD534FFB0FF0BFF749407F94C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. By comparing Z. dian and the type specimens of Polycomus exspiravit He & Ma, we found that both species are same in appearance and male genitalia, so we synonymize P. exspiravit with Z. dian. This species is similar in appearance to Zilingxi danmai He, 2022, but the tegmina of Z. dian are lighter in color. The male genitalia of the two species differ considerably. Ectoparamere of Z. danmai is more developed, rectangular at the base, rodshaped apically and median lobe straighter. Ectoparamere of Z. dian is smaller, angular at the end, curved inwards, and median lobe distinctly curved.	en	Wu, Qian, Ma, Li-Bin (2022): A new species of pygmy crickets and synonyms of a genus and a species of sword-tail crickets (Orthoptera: Trigonidiidae: Nemobiinae and Trigonidiinae) from China.
