Diaphanogryllacris taiwanis Lv, Duan & Shi, 2025, sp. nov.

Diaphanogryllacris taiwanis sp. nov., Chinese name 台DZmneDz (Figs. 2, 9C–D) Description. Holotype Female. Body medium-sized for the genus. Head. Face narrow oval; fastigium verticis slightly broader than antennal scape. Eyes ovoid, slightly protruding forward and outward; ocelli indistinct, oval and small (Fig. 2A–B). Thorax. Pronotum broad, anterior margin slightly protruding forward while posterior margin straight (Fig. 2B–C). Lateral areas of second and third abdominal tergites each with 2 rows of stridulatory pegs. Tegmina and Wings. Wings elongate, surpassing apex of stretched hind tibia. Tegmen: R releases Rs near the middle, both forked near apical area; MA releases MP near the third base; CuA releases CuA1 and CuA2 near the third base; MP and CuA1 shortly fuse near the middle; CuP unbranched, free throughout; with 4 anal veins. Hind wing slightly longer than tegmen (Fig. 9C–D). Legs. Fore coxa with 1 spine at anterior margin. Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces; fore and middle tibiae each with 4 pairs of movable long spines and 1 pair of short apical spurs on ventral surfaces, middle tibia with 1 inner apical spur on dorsal surface. Hind femur with 3–4 inner spines and 3 outer spines on ventral surface; hind tibia with 4–6 spines on inner and outer margins on dorsal surface respectively; while apical area with 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Abdomen. Seventh abdominal sternite trapezoidal, apical area slightly broad, posterior margin slightly concave. Subgenital plate with basal area broad, narrowing, posterior margin slightly concave (Fig. 2D). Ovipositor slightly upcurved, basal area stout, slightly longer than hind femur (Fig. 2E). Male. Unknown. Coloration. Body yellowish-brown. Antenna brown. Eyes black, the areas around the eyes brown (Fig. 2A). Disc of pronotum with two longitudinal brown stripes and a nearly straight transverse brown stripe; with black stripe along entire margins (Fig. 2B–C). Tegmina and hind wings transparent, veins dark brown. Spines and spurs on fore and middle tibiae brown; apices of spines and spurs on hind femur and hind tibia brown. Measurements (mm). Body: ♀ 23.7; pronotum: ♀ 4.5; tegmen: ♀ 31.7; hind femur: ♀ 14.4; ovipositor: ♀ 15.5. Specimens examined. Holotype: ♀, Lilianshan, Taoyuan, Taiwan, 16 August, 2017, coll. Tian Xie. Distribution. China (Taiwan). Discussion. This new species resembles Diaphanogryllacris brevispina Du, Bian & Shi, 2016, but it differs from the latter in: the stripes on disc of pronotum (Figs. 2B–C, 4B–C) and ovipositor (shorter and slightly upcurved, basal area obviously stout, see Fig. 2E). Etymology. The name of the new species derives from the type locality.
