Two New Species of the Genus Caryanda Stål, 1878 (Orthoptera: Acrididae) from Yunnan, China Identified Based on Morphological and Molecular Data

<i>Caryanda</i> is a group of morphologically diverse, non-flying locusts. In November 2024, we first discovered two unknown species of the genus in Nangonghe Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province. In this study, the effectiveness of these two new species was verified by integrating morphological, morphometric, and mitochondrial genomic methods. Finally, two new species, <i>Caryanda gengmaensis</i> Mao et Li sp. nov. and <i>Caryanda analbomaculata</i> Mao et Li sp. nov., were proposed and described in detail, and two similar species color plates were attached: <i>C. cyanonota</i> Mao & Li, 2015 and <i>C. albomaculata</i> Mao, Ren & Ou, 2007.

Abstract

<i>Caryanda</i> is a group of morphologically diverse, non-flying locusts. In November 2024, we first discovered two unknown species of the genus in Nangonghe Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province. In this study, the effectiveness of these two new species was verified by integrating morphological, morphometric, and mitochondrial genomic methods. Finally, two new species, <i>Caryanda gengmaensis</i> Mao et Li sp. nov. and <i>Caryanda analbomaculata</i> Mao et Li sp. nov., were proposed and described in detail, and two similar species color plates were attached: <i>C. cyanonota</i> Mao & Li, 2015 and <i>C. albomaculata</i> Mao, Ren & Ou, 2007.
