In the paper, three new species of the genus Woznessenskia Gorochov, 2002 are reported from China, i.e. W. truncatoprocerasp. nov., W. dentatasp. nov. and W. dulongjiangasp. nov., while the females of W. brevisa Guo & Shi, 2011 and W. bimacula Guo & Shi, 2011 are described for the first time. In addition, we provide diagnostic morphological images of all aforementioned specimens with photographs of W. arcoida Guo & Shi, 2011, W. incurva Shi, Zhu & Wang, 2022 and W. lianhua Zhang, Hu & He, 2024.

 Gryllacrididae Woznessenskia new species China National Natural Science Foundation of China 501100001809 https://ror.org/01h0zpd94 http://doi.org/10.13039/501100001809 Introduction

The genus Woznessenskia was established by Gorochov in 2002 with W. finitima Gorochov, 2002 designated as the type species. In addition, Gorochov described W. deminuta Gorochov, 2002 and W. arcuata Gorochov, 2002 and transferred the species Borneogryllacris curvicauda Bey-Bienko, 1962 to the genus Woznessenskia.

Guo and Shi (2011) reported three new species from China, i.e. W. bimacula Guo & Shi, 2011, W. brevisa Guo & Shi, 2011 and W. arcoida Guo & Shi, 2011. Ingrisch (2018) described two new species, i.e. W. ampliata Ingrisch, 2018 and W. bavi Ingrisch, 2018 from Vietnam. Shi et al. (2022) identified four new species, i.e. W. incurva Shi, Zhu & Wang, 2022, W. procera Shi, Zhu & Wang, 2022, W. truncata Shi, Zhu & Wang, 2022 and W. combina Shi, Zhu & Wang, 2022 from China. Zhang et al. (2024) reported one new species, i.e. W. lianhua Zhang, Hu & He, 2024 from China.

Up to now, the genus Woznessenskia Gorochov, 2002 includes 14 species, which are distributed in China and Vietnam, nine species of which occur in China (Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Xizang). This paper reports three new species of Woznessenskia Gorochov, 2002 from China, the females of W. brevisa Guo & Shi, 2011 and W. bimacula Guo & Shi, 2011 being described for the first time.

 Material and methods

In China, the family Gryllacrididae is primarily distributed in southern regions. Their peak emergence period occurs from July to August so that we collected them during this time. Collection methods include sweep-netting during daytime, while at night, we use headlamps to locate them. Alternatively, light traps can be employed to capture them, based on their phototaxis. Specimens are preserved in 95% ethanol.

The specimens were studied and compared using a Nikon-SMZ-1500 stereomicroscope. Morphological images were taken using Leica M205A digital imaging system. The photos were edited using Adobe Photoshop CC 2019. Measurements of specimens were done using Vernier calipers. All specimens examined are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University (HBU), China.

The following conventions were adopted: body length — distance from apex of fastigium verticis to posterior margin of ninth abdominal tergite in the mid-line; pronotum length — distance from anterior to posterior margins of pronotum in the mid-line; tegmen length —distance from base of tegmen to the apex; hind femur length — distance from base of hind femur to apex of genicular lobe; ovipositor length — distance from base of subgenital plate to apex of ovipositor.

The nomenclature and abbreviations of tegminal venation follow Ingrisch (2018): R radius, RS radius sector (or radius posterior), M media, MA media anterior, MP media posterior, Cu cubitus, CuA cubitus anterior, CuP cubitus posterior.
