Genus
Xizicus
Gorochov, 1993
Type
species:
Xiphidiopsis fascipes
Bey-Bienko, 1955
, by original designation.
REMARK. In
Orthoptera
Species File (Cigliano
et al
., 2018), this genus is considered with 7 subgenera. But some of these subgenera are problematic:
Paraxizicus
Liu, 2004 and
Haploxizicus
Wang, Jing, Liu et Li, 2014
may be synonyms of the subgenera
Furcixizicus
Gorochov, 2002
and
Axizicus
Gorochov, 1998
, respectively.
Such synonymy is suggested by some subgeneric characters and illustrations given in the partial revision of
Xizicus
s. l.
(Wang
et al
., 2014: figs 4–14). Also, it is necessary to mention that
type
species of the subgenus
Furcixizicus
is
Xizicus furcicercus
Gorochov, 2002 by original designation (Gorochov, 2002), but in
Orthoptera
Species File (Cigliano
et al
., 2018), its
type
species is erroneously indicated as
Xizicus cryptostictus
(Hebard, 1922)
.
