Middle lobe of epiphallus about 1/2 length of epiphallic lateral lobes, ventrally possessing projections and about 1/3 length of epiphallic lateral lobes. Ectoparamere proximally rod-like and distally sheet-like. Ectoparamere curved dorsally (degree of curvature variable). Apex of ectoparamere bifurcate, outer branch rather long (slightly longer than epiphallic lateral lobes) and apically rounded, and the inner relatively short (only a small protrusion and varied in size and shape: round or acute, or asymmetry with one round while another acute) (Fig. 12E-H).</p><p>Coloration.</p><p>Body brown.

The dorsal ovipositor valve apically truncated, whereas the ventral valve with apex slightly acute (Fig. 14E, F).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Gorochov (2001) considered V. yunnanensis to be a junior synonym of V. flavifrons . We checked the original descriptions and found that the figures of these species differ. To confirm the relationship of these species, we studied material collected from Yunnan Province (seven individuals), which should either bear the name of V. flavifrons or V. yunnanensis . Most of these specimens were collected at the same time and in the same location. We conclude that morphological variation of is present in the male genitalial complex (Fig. 12), as follows: (1) ectoparamere dorsally curved and variable in its curvature; (2) ectoparamere bifurcate and inner branch variable in size (clearly or weakly observable); (3) inner branch of ectoparamere morphologically variable (round or acute, or asymmetry with one acute and the other rounded). Thus, our observations confirm the synonymy of V. flavifrons and V. yunnanensis as proposed by Gorochov (2001).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11023AEBA1055E21AB8467370A24EEA2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

He was a well-known orthopterist in China, and he made outstanding contributions to the taxonomy of Chinese grasshoppers. To honor him, we named this new species after him.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male: vertex broad and flattened, rather inclined. Occiput bright, slightly convex and somewhat wider than pronotum. Frontal rostrum convex, inclined dorsally and ventrally, and nearly three times wider than antennal scape. Antennal scape shield-like. Ocelli transversely ovoid, almost equal in size. Eyes slightly convex, about 1/4 length of head. Postclypeus shaped as a narrow band, lower margin concave; anteclypeus shaped as a broad shield. Labrum shaped as rhombus, apical margin slightly round. End section of maxillary palpi is about 2/3 length of the third section; end section of labial palpi depressed and widened, almost equal to the total length of all other sections.</p><p>The time and frequency parameters are in seconds and kHz respectively. n = number of samples analyzed; std= standard deviation.</p><p>Pronotum broad and flattened. Median groove of pronotal disc distinct. Posterior margin straight and middle of anterior margin concaved inside, and both margins almost equal in width.</p><p>Tegmina reaching eighth abdominal tergite. Oblique veins bifurcated proximally, and each branch of them connected to CuA vein. Three chord veins, connecting to proximal part of mirror by two transverse veins. Mirror shield-like, about twice wider than basal field. Dividing vein absent. Apical field narrow and almost 1/4 length of mirror.</p><p>Outer tympanum larger than the inner, inner tympanum oval; outer tympanum elongate-oval. Hind tibiae armed with dorsal spurs (numbered 5:6) almost equal in length; and apical spurs outside three (the dorsal one longest and about two times longer than the dorsal spurs, ventral one about half length of the dorsal, the middle one slightly longer than the dorsal) and inner two (equal in length and about 2/3 length of the dorsal).</p><p>Genitalia.</p><p>Lateral lobes of epiphallus sheet-like, tapering, apically acute, and armed with pilose at the apex. Middle lobe of epiphallus angularity forming an obtuse angle and apically rounded, about 1/3 length of lateral lobes. Ectoparamere stripe-like, tapering, and about 2.5 times longer than epiphallic lateral lobes.</p><p>Calling song.</p><p>Chirps lasting from 1.296 to 3.480 s (mean 1.888), and their duration vary from 0.115 to 0.191 s (mean 0.153). Each chirp equally contains four pulses (Fig. 4B). The peak frequency is between 3.898 and 6.171 kHz (mean 5.035), and the average temperature is 28.0 °C. In terms of spectro-temporal variation, its frequency modulation is inclined downward, which is obvious in the second harmonic.</p><p>Female. Resembles the male. Head almost as wide as pronotum. Tegmen extends anteriorly to the second abdominal tergite (Fig. 2B), which is shorter on the inside and progressively grows longer on the outside. Dorsally 3 or 4 longitudinal veins and laterally 6 Sc branches (the outermost of which is basally branched) arm the tegmen (Fig. 13D). Ovipositor smooth and slightly longer than the posterior femur. The dorsal ovipositor valve is hooked and has a sharp apex, whereas the apex of the ventral ovipositor valve is slightly rounded (Fig. 14 A, B).</p><p>Coloration.</p><p>Body dark brown. Ocelli light yellow. Eyes brown; between eyes and anterior margin of pronotum marked with yellowish -brown band. Maxillary reddish brown. Cercus and legs yellowish brown.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species resembles species of the Landrevus group in features of the body and genitalia. In V. gradifrons, however, the inner tympanum is absent and the apical margin of epiphallic middle lobe is straight. In the new species, both tympana are present and the apical margin of epiphallic middle lobe is curved. The apical field of the tegmina of V. bubalus and V. elephas are longer than in V. zhengi sp. nov., and the apical margins of the epiphallic middle lobe are straighter than the new species. Furthermore, the new species is distinguished from V. landrevus, another Chinese species, in morphological and acoustical characters. Velarifictorus zhengi sp. nov. bears a longer epiphallic middle lobe, whose apex is partially pentagon-like in dorsal view and possesses more pulses (9-15) per chirp at a lower peak frequency. Finally, the absence of a dividing vein in the new species (observed in all type material) is distinct from all other species of the Landrevus group.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B99771A347951A8A7AA2DAF8EDE8FD2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
