Remarks.

Hyboella badagongshanensis was described by Zheng (2013 b) but was later transferred to the genus Macromotettixoides by Zha et al. (2017). We examined the type specimens of M. jiuwanshanensis , M. badagongshanensis , and M. wuyishana and found that the structures and coloration of the body are the same in these three taxa. Therefore, we consider M. badagongshanensis , and M. wuyishana as synonyms of M. jiuwanshanensis . These three taxa are conspecific and characterized by the width of the vertex between the eyes being 2.1–2.2 × the width of the compound eye; anterior margin of fastigium arched and surpassing anterior margin of eye; the anterior margin of pronotum is slightly obtuse protruding; and the lower carinae of fore and mid femora is straight.
