038087F1AC056B247E9660DBDB9A16C8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Shiraki primarily described and illustrated coloration and many characters that are possessed by most species of the genus, and, especially, he did not study and aspects of male genitalia (Shiraki, 1930). Thus, subsequent researchers could only identify the species by coloration and the minor considerations of ovipositor length (Gorochov, 1997). In 2000, the male genitalia of this species were illustrated, meanwhile, P. lineaticeps was placed as junior synonym of P. formosanus (Ichikawa et al., 2000). Although no one disputes this conclusion (Cigliano et al., 2020; Gorochov, 2008), we still have some questions based on this species as follows: (1) Illustrations of the genitalia, were not accompanied by which specimen was used and where it collected from. Thus, we question whether the specimen used for genitalia drawing of P. formosanus is the type or the material collected from the type locality; (2) Regarding synonymous relationship between P. formosanus and P. lineaticeps, no explanation for this change was proveded. We discovered that the the examined type specimen of P. lineaticeps is female (Female, Myanmar, Nam Tisang, alt. 3000 ft., NHM, Kingdon Ward) (Ichikawa et al., 2000), thus we surmise this combination was based solely on external features and in all probability the primary character was coloration. Indeed, after examining specimens collected from Fujian (adjacent to Taiwan), Guangxi and Hongkong (adjacent to Vietnam and Guangzhou), and Xizang (adjacent to Myanmar), we found all the males possessed similar genitalia and had two colour morphs, light brown or dark brown. Based on our experience in the field, we conclude most individuals are one species and with two coloration morphs since we collected them in same time and same place. We feel that only one species is involved.	en	He, Zhixin, Ma, Libin (2021): Crickets of the subfamily Itarinae Shiraki, 1930 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from China with description of a new species and distribution and critical notes on other species.

Since Gorochov compared the type of this species with a paratype of P. lineaticeps (? = P. formosanus) (Gorochov, 1988, 1997), we believe that they are different species. But we doubt that there would be an incorrect identification on material collected from China, which were mentioned in Gorochov’s works. He discussed three specimens collected from Guangdong Province, China (three females, China, Prov. Guangdong, Guangzhou ‘ Canton’, Mell S. V., deposited in Natural Museum of Humboldt University, Berlin) and he identified two of them which bear dark coloration as P. fuscus and one colored light as P. lineaticeps (? = P. formosanus) (Cigliano et al., 2020; Gorochov, 1988, 1997). All specimens we collected in China (see details in materials examined above) were identified as P. fuscus by features of male genitalia (accessory structure of epiphallus of this species armed with hook-like apex) and they are vary in coloration, of them some ones are colored dark while others colored light. Thus, we do not think it was correct to identify those three females (in Natural Museum of Humboldt University) based on their coloration and, to a great extent, we think they are probably the same species as we have here. In addition, there is a problem on illustrations of P. lineaticeps (? = P. formosanus) in Gorochov (1997: Figs 169 – 178), since these figures were drawn based on specimens of Province Vinh Phu, Vietnam but not the type specimen. If the author did not check the genitalia of them and only judged them by their coloration, we could assume these specimens bear light coloration should not be the species of P. lineaticeps (? = P. formosanus). But, in this case, how do we understand the difference, such as structure of metanotal gland, between species of P. fuscus and P. lineaticeps (? = P. formosanus) as indicated in Gorochov (1997). Our male specimens possess similar genitalia and they vary not only in coloration (Fig. 15) but also in structure of metanotal gland (Fig. 16). Thus, we still believe it is reliable to use genitalia features to identify the species of the genus, but, at least for now, not coloration and some others mentioned in literature (Gorochov, 1997).	en	He, Zhixin, Ma, Libin (2021): Crickets of the subfamily Itarinae Shiraki, 1930 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from China with description of a new species and distribution and critical notes on other species.
