Formosatettix arisanensis Tinkham, 1937 by original designation.</p> <p>Description and differential diagnosis. This genus is characterized by follow combination of features: head not exserted above upper level of pronotum; fastigium of vertex in dorsal view surpassing the anterior margin of eyes, generally much wider than width of one compound eye from above; anterior margin of fastigium arched or straight; pronotum compressed, dorsum tectiform, usually without humeral angle; in dorsal view, anterior margin of pronotum arcuate protruding, truncate or angular projecting; the apex of pronotum rounded or bilobate; in profile, median carina of pronotum high, arch-like or straight; posterior angles of lateral lobes turned downwards, apex of posterior angles obtuse rounded; posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum only with ventral sinus, the tegminal (upper) sinus absent; tegmina and hind wings invisible (generally vestigial hidden under pronotum or apterous); fore and middle femora elongated, with straight or undulated ventral margins.</p> <p>Formosatettix is most similar to Alulatettix Liang, 1993. The difference between the two genera occurs in the posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum and the flying organs. In Formosatettix, the posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum only with ventral sinus and tegminal (upper) sinus is absent; tegmina and hind wings are generally invisible (generally strongly reduced to minute scales completely hidden under pronotum or apterous). In Alulatettix, the posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum with ventral sinus and tegminal (upper) sinus; tegmina visible; and hind wings abbreviated but visible (not uncovering the pronotum). Formosatettix is also similar to Aalatettix Zheng &amp; Mao, 2002. The difference between the two genera is in tegminal sinus of the posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum. In Formosatettix, tegminal (upper) sinus is absent; in Aalatettix, tegminal (upper) sinus is present but inconspicuous. Therefore, Aalatettix may be considered a synonym of Formosatettix, but more studies are required to confirm this inference.</p> <p>Composition and distribution: Altogether, 67 species are now assigned to the genus Formosatettix and found in China, Russia, Korea, Japan, Pakistan and Nepal (Fig. 1).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3922878EB769795FFF7DF119FCDBD465	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We examined the type specimens of Formosatettix huapingensis, F. nanlingensis, and F. guposhanensis and found that the structures and coloration of the body are the same in these three taxa. Therefore, we consider F. nanlingensis and F. guposhanensis as synonyms of F. huapingensis. We also examined the type specimens of F. nanlingensis and F. undulatifemura and found that body structures, type locality (Nanling National Forest Park), and body coloration were the same in both taxa. The type specimen of F. undulatifemura was determined to be a nymph (antegenicular teeth of the dorsal margin before the knee of the hind femora were absent (Fig. 9A)). Thus, F. undulatifemura is considered to be a synonym of F. huapingensis. These taxa are conspecific and characterized by the width of the vertex between the eyes being 2.2–2.5 times the width of the compound eye; the anterior margin of pronotum is truncate or slightly arcuate protruding; the lower margin of the hind process is straight and the lateral carinae of metazoan is also slightly straight; the lower carinae of fore and mid femora is straight or slightly sinuate.</p> <p>Distribution.

Formosatettixoides yunnanensis has a posterior margin of the lateral lobe of pronotum only with ventral sinus and tegminal (upper) sinus absent; tegmina and hind wings reduced to minute scales completely hidden under pronotum, and it belongs to the genus Formosatettix. This species can be identified by the smooth body; the vertex is much wider than one of the eyes; the pronotum is strongly elevated and arch-like; the anterior margin of the pronotum is obtuse and protruding; the apex of the hind pronotal process is concave; the middle femur is much wider than the fore femur.</p> <p>Zheng (1992) described Formosatettix yunnanensis Zheng, 1992 from Yunnan (Pingbian). Here, Formosatettixoides yunnanensis Zheng &amp; Mao, 1997 is moved to the genus Formosatettix.
