Genus Mongolotettix Rehn, 1928

Mongolotettix Rehn, 1928: 200 (type species: Chrysochraon japonicus Bolívar, 1898 , by original designation).

Foveolatacris Yin & Li, 1987: 77 , 84 (type species: Mongolotettix qinghaiensis Yin, 1984 , by original designation). Synonymized by Storozhenko & Paik (2009).

Heteropterus Wang, 1992: 251 View in CoL , 254 (type species: Heteropterus xiushanensis Wang, 1992 , by original designation) (nom. preocc., nec Heteropterus Duméril, 1806 View in CoL in Lepidoptera View in CoL ); Yin et al., 2003: 87. Syn. n.

NOTES. In the description of type species W. Wang confused whole prosternum with prosternal spine ( Wang, 1992, Fig. 3) and based on this mistake considered that his Heteropterus View in CoL is similar to Leptacris Walker, 1870 which belongs to the tribe Leptacrini Johnston, 1956 View in CoL of the subfamily Catantopinae View in CoL sensu lato. All other characters of Heteropterus xiushanensis , such as the shape of antennae, head, pronotum, sternal plate, hind knees and apical segments of male abdomen as well as the wing venation, are typical for the genus Mongolotettix . Thus, Heteropterus View in CoL must be synonymized with Mongolotettix . Moreover, the former name was preoccupied in Lepidoptera View in CoL and according to Article 53.2 of the Code (ICZN, 1999) Heteropterus Duméril, 1806 View in CoL and Heteropterus Wang, 1992 View in CoL are homonyms. The replacement name for latter genus needs according to Article 60.3 of the Code but such name does not proposed here because of new synonymy: Mongolotettix Rehn, 1928 = Heteropterus Wang, 1992 View in CoL , syn. n.

COMPOSITION. The genus Mongolotettix consists of 10 species distributed in Russia, Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan (Storozhenko & Paik, 2009; Shi et al., 2016).
