Macromotettixoides parvula Zha & Wen. In : Zha, Yu, Boonmee, Eungwanichayapant, & Wen, 2017: 17.

Type material. Holotype Macromotettixoides parvula : female, China, Guizhou Prov., Leishan, Leigongshan , 2. VIII. 2016, leg. Ling-Sheng ZHA, HHHU (not seen) ; Paratype Macromotettixoides parvula : three males and two females, China, Guizhou Prov., Leishan, Leigongshan ,, 1–3. VIII. 2016, leg.

Notes. After reading of the description and viewing photographs of the holotype and allotype in Zha et al. (2017), this species appears to be a typical Macromotettixoides undulatifemura Deng, Zheng & Yang, 2012 (body size is extremely small; vertex 2.0 times as wide as one eye; pronotum disc behind humeral angles covered with many reticular wrinkles; lower carinae of fore and middle femora with two to three teeth and distinctly undulated), which is widely distributed in Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi of China. Therefore, Macromotettixoides parvula is regarded here as a synonym of Macromotettixoides undulatifemura .
