8. Formosatettix leigongshanensis Zha & Ding, 2020 ( Fig. 24J )

Formosatettix leigongshanensis Zha & Ding, 2020 in Zha, Wu & Ding, 2020: 62 [description] (holotype — ♀, China: Guizhou Province, Leishan County (Leigong-shan Mt.), in SSHNU, not examined).

Notes. Formosatettix nigrifemurus Deng, 2016 was proposed in Deng’s PhD Dissertation ( Deng, 2016), which has not been published according to the criteria of availability ( ICZN 1999: Art. 8.1), therefore, Formosatettix nigrifemurus is an invalid name. We examined type specimens of Formosatettix nigrifemurus and compared with type specimen photographs and the description of Formosatettix leigongshanensis ( Zha, Wu & Ding, 2020) and found that morphology and distribution are completely identical in both taxa.

Distribution. China (Guizhou and Hunan).
