Formosatettix longwangshanensis Zheng, 1998 View in CoL in Wu, H. [Ed.], 1998: 51 [description] ( holotype —♁, China: Zhejiang prov., Anji County, Longwangshan, in IZSNU, examined); Deng, 2016: 281; Wei, Deng & Lu, 2019: 1008.

Formosatettix tianmushanensis Zheng & Li, 2001: 162 View in CoL [description] ( holotype — ♀, China: Zhejiang prov., Linan County, Tianmushan, in CLSNU, not examined); Zheng, Shi & Yin, 2015: 148; Deng, 2016: 274; Wei, Deng & Lu, 2019: 1004 View Cited Treatment , 1019; syn. nov.

Type material examined. Holotype Formosatettix longwangshanensis , ♁, China: Zhejiang prov., Anji County, Longwangshan , 20 July 1995, in IZSNU . Other material examined. topotypes Formosatettix longwangshanensis : 10♁ 8♀, China: Zhejiang prov., Anji County, Longwangshan , 30 July 2019, EMHU ; Topotypes Formosatettix tianmushanensis : 7♁ 15♀, China: Zhejiang prov., Linan County, Tianmushan , 22 July 2019, EMHU .

Notes. Not only did we examine the holotype of Formosatettix longwangshanensis and compared with type specimen pictures and the description of Formosatettix tianmushanensis ( Zheng & Li, 2001) , but also we compared the topotypes of these two species and found that morphology and distribution are completely identical in both taxa. Thus, we synonymise F. tianmushanensis with F. longwangshanensis . The two taxa are conspecific and characterized by the width of the vertex between the eyes 2.0–2.2 times the width of a compound eye; anterior margin of pronotum obtuse protruding; median carina of pronotum arch-like; lower margin of hind process distinctly curved; lower carinae of fore and mid femora straight or slightly sinuate.

Distribution. China ( Zhejiang).
