Notes.
Not only did we examine the
holotype
of
Formosatettix longwangshanensis
and compared with type specimen pictures and the description of
Formosatettix tianmushanensis
(
Zheng & Li, 2001
)
, but also we compared the topotypes of these two species and found that morphology and distribution are completely identical in both taxa. Thus, we synonymise
F. tianmushanensis
with
F. longwangshanensis
. The two taxa are conspecific and characterized by the width of the vertex between the eyes 2.0–2.2 times the width of a compound eye; anterior margin of pronotum obtuse protruding; median carina of pronotum arch-like; lower margin of hind process distinctly curved; lower carinae of fore and mid femora straight or slightly sinuate.
