Jin, Xingbao, Liu, Xianwei & Wang, Hanqiang, 2020, New taxa of the tribe Meconematini from South-Pacific and Indo-Malayan Regions (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Meconematinae), Zootaxa 4772 (1), pp. 1-53 : 44

63) Chandozhinskia hastaticerca (Tinkham, 1936)

3♂♂, 1♀, 15 nymph: VIETNAM: Fyan / 1200 m./ 11.VII–9.VIII. ’61; N. R . Spencer / Collector / BISHOP

4♂♂, 12 nymph: VIETNAM: Fyan / 900–1200 m./ 11.VII–9.VIII.’61; N. R . Spencer / Collector / BISHOP

1♀: VIETNAM 17 km / S. of Dilinh / 1300m, 6–13.X.60; C.M. Yoshimoto / Collector

3nymph: VIETNAM / Ap Hung-Lam, 21 km / NW of DiLinh 1100m / 29.IX–5.X.1960; C.M. Yoshimoto/ Collector

Note. A female from DiLinh (Djiring) of Vietnam, with smooth apex of subgenital plate, this obviously is Chandozhinskia bivittata bivittata (Bey-Bienko, 1957) instead of Chandozhinskia bivittata vietnamica Gorochov, 2011 , which with a small notch on subgenital plate.

Except the difference on length of tegmina and wings, all the other characters of the 2 species are nearly the same, especially both cerci of the male in hastate form. They are distributed in southern China, Vietnam and Thailand. The adult emerging time of these 2 species are bit different. Apparently, Ch. bivittata bivittata occurs in March, April and May, while Ch. hastaticerca occurs in August, September, and November based on the label data of examined specimens and Gorochov (1993, 2005, 2011).

As 1 female of Chandozhinskia bivittata bivittata and 1 male of Chandozhinskia hastaticerca are collected from the same locality, DiLinh (Djiring) of VIET NAM, there is a possibility that these 2 species could be 2 seasonal forms of same species. However, this needs to be confirmed with more material from same locality.
