Shen, Chu-Ze, Guo, Pei-Kun & He, Zhu-Qing, 2020, A pilot phylogeny study of Nemobiinae inferred from 18 S, 28 S and genes, with descriptions of two new genera and a new species from Hainan, China (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Trigonidiidae), Zootaxa 4778 (2), pp. 383-390 : 387

Genus Qionemobius Shen & He gen. nov.

( Fig. 2 C,D ; Fig. 3 )

Type species: Qionemobius hsterus

Including species: type species only

Diagnosis. The new genus is similar to Pteronemobius , Dianemobius , Polionemobius , Speonemobius in appearance, but does not have forewings. It also differs from Marinemobius , Parapteronemobius , and Taiwanemobius by having short legs. In terms of habitat, the new species occupies leaf litter habitats, while the latter three genera live near sea. Genitalia: apical part of epiphallus with two rounded projections, ectoparamers with rather small apical part, not exceeding epiphallus ( Fig. 3 ).
