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.
