( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 , Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 , Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 )

Holotype: male, CHINA, Fujian, Wuyishan , 13-viii-2018, coll. HE Zhu-Qing.

Paratypes: 2 males, CHINA, Guangdong, Shenzhen , 21-x-2016, coll. ZHANG Tao .

Male. This species is very similar to V. pieli pieli . There is some variation in forewings between the Fujian individual ( Holotype) and Guangdong individuals ( Paratypes), such as chords and dividing veins. However, these characters also exist in V. pieli pieli and V. dulcis . Thus songs, COI genes and geographic information should be considered integratively, instead of only morphology. Genitalia: similar to above species, but ectoparemere elongated and bifurcated at apex ( Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 ).

Female. Unknown.

Measurements (in mm).

Male: body length (to forewing) 18.14–20.65, pronotum length 3.12–3.33, forewing length 13.87–15.70, hind femur length 13.80–15.44.

Songs. The oscillograms of V. pieli monotonia are similar to that of V. pieli pieli , but the pulse number is much more ( Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 ).
