03CE87A436238D3DFF27FD3DD7C19FF5.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The new species differs from other two species in various morphological characters: The new species differs from Yalvaciana yalvaci in the shape of tegmin, a subgenital plate of both male and female, the new species is also different from Yalvaciana allowpora in the shape of stridulatory file both stridulatory are shown in (Fig. S & T) and are quite different in both species, the spines on the titillators of Yalvaciana allowpora are present on apical surface where as in new species, spines are present on whole surface (Fig: K); the subgenital plate of female of Yalvaciana allowpora is as broad as long, apex with obtusely rounded incision while in new species the female subgenital plate is longer than broad with apically small U shaped incision (Fig. G).	en	Shah, Muzamil Syed, Usmani, Mohd Kamil (2022): A new species, Yalvaciana unal sp. nov. of the genus Yalvaciana Ciplak et al. 2002 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae) from Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir India.
