Orthoptera Oxyoides Yinia Caryandoides Oxyinae Acrididae new synonym China

Abstract

The genera Oxyoides Zheng & Fu, 1994, Yinia Liu & Li, 1995 and Caryandoides Zheng & Xie, 2007 are revised. As a result of the revision, the genus Oxyoides is synonymized with Oxya Audinet-Serville, 1831, and the genus Caryandoides is synonymized with Yinia. As for the three known members of Oxyoides, the type species Oxyoides wulingshanensis Zheng & Fu, 1994 is proposed as a new junior synonym of Oxya agavisa Tsai, 1931, the two other members, i.e. Oxyoides bamianshanensis Fu & Zheng, 1999 and Oxyoides longianchorus Huang, Fu & Zhou, 2007, are referred to the genus Yinia and both, together with Caryandoides maguas Zheng & Xie, 2007, are proposed as new junior synonyms of Yinia hunanica Liu & Li, 1995.
