Orthoptera Cladonotinae Tuberfemurus new taxa

Abstract

Tuberfemurus torulisinotus Deng, sp. nov. is described with detailed illustrations of external morphology. Comparison between new species and other species of the genus Tuberfemurus Zheng, 1992 is compiled into a table for identification. New synonymy is proposed: Tuberfemurus laminatus Zheng, 1992 = Xiaitettix emeishanensis Deng, Zheng & Yang, 2012, syn. n. An updated key to species of the genus is given.
