Abstract:

The genus Zhengitettix from China was reviewed, with six species recorded, including one new species, Zhengitettix triangularis sp. nov., which was collected from Yunnan, S.W. China. The new species is allied to Z. hainanensis Liang, 1994, but differs in: width of frontal ridge sulcus as wide as the width of basal segment of antenna; antennae inserted between the lower margin of eyes; hind process reaching one third of top part of hind tibia; hind wing reaching extending over the top of hind process; hind tibia black. A key to species of the genus is given.
