Type locality. Kwangtung, Maan Chi Shan (now Guangdong, Qingyuan , Mao-zi-shan Mt.) ( Type ); Kiangsi , Kuling (now Jiangxi, Guling ) (Allotype); Szechwan, Suifu (now Sichuan, Yibin) (Paratypes) .

Notes. This species has long been treated as a synonym of Sinochlora longifissa . However, specimens from southern China have shorter and straighter subgenital plates, while Japanese specimens have longer ones. The tenth abdominal tergum of the southern Chinese specimens is very short, with a width greater than its length, while the Japanese specimens have nearly equal length and width. Considering the significant geographical differences, we believe that this species should be treated as a valid species. Comparison of the calling songs and stridulatory files would be of considerable help in this respect.

Distribution. Southern China.
