Distribution.
China
(Guangxi, Hainan).
Discussion:
Zheng and Jiang (2002)
erected the genus
Miriatroides
and described the
type
species
Miriatroides quadrivertex
from Guangxi in
China
.
Spadotettix hainanensis
was found and described by Günther in 1939 from Hainan in
China
. But we restudied the
type
species of
Miriatroides quadrivertex
and examined specimens of
Spadotettix hainanensis
collected from Hainan in
China
and compared with the figures of the
holotype
of
Spadotettix hainanensis
, found that structures and coloration of
Miriatroides quadrivertex
were same as
Spadotettix hainanensis
Günther, 1939
, and this species is here regarded as a synonym of
Spadotettix hainanensis
.
Thus, we synonymize
Miriatroides quadrivertex
Zheng & Jiang, 2002
syn. nov.
with
Spadotettix hainanensis
Günther, 1939
and genus
Miriatroides
Zheng & Jiang, 2002
syn. nov.
with the genus
Spadotettix
Hancock, 1910
.
Spadotettix hainanensis
was recorded by
Günther (1939)
from
China
(Hainan), and this is the first record in Guangxi.
