Abstract
The current classification system of the family Gryllacrididae primarily relies on morphological characteristics, with limited molecular studies conducted. In this study, we sequenced five genes (COI, COII, Cytb, 18S, and 28S) from a total of 46 gryllacridid individuals mainly from China. Subsequently, we utilized both the maximum likelihood method and the Bayesian inference method to construct a phylogenetic tree, aiming to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships within Gryllacrididae from China. Our results indicate that the genera Phryganogryllacris Karny, Capnogryllacris Karny, and Eugryllacris Karny are not monophyletic. Thus, we redescribe these genera, resurrect two genera (Marthogryllacris Karny stat. resurr. and Borneogryllacris Karny stat. resurr.), erect six new genera (Dracogryllacris gen. nov., Magnigryllacris gen. nov., Radigryllacris gen. nov., Sericgryllacris gen. nov., Bicornisgryllacris gen. nov., and Tenuigryllacris gen. nov.), and described two new species (Tenuigryllacris huanglianensis Li, Yin & He sp. nov. and Tenuigryllacris yingjiangensis Li, Yin & He sp. nov.). Besides, subgenus Bianigryllacris Cadena-Castañeda is a synonym of Apterolarnaca Gorochov.
期刊介绍:
The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.
