Note. Zhemin Zheng named this species as Macromotettix longipennis in 2002. But he did not notice that he (1998) already described another species named Macromotettix longipennis from Yunnan in China. Macromotettix longipennis from Zheng in 2002 must be renamed as a secondary homonym after art. 57.3. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Therefore, Macromotettix napoensis Deng n. n. for Macromotettix longipennis Zheng, 2002 (nec. Zheng, 1998) preoccupied.
