DNA sequence comparisons of the mitochondrial COI

COII

and Cytb genes were used to infer phylogenetic relationships of partial genera and species of Cantatopidae

including 7 new species (〖WTBX〗Apalacris eminifronta〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗Caryanda pseudodentata〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗 Caryanda bannaensis〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗 Caryanda ruiliensis〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗Longchuanacris fui〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗 Longchuanacris xiaoheishanensis〖WTBZ〗

〖WTBX〗Podismodes dabieshanensis〖WTBZ〗). Phylogenetic trees were constructed using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. The combined results suggest several phylogenetic relationships including: ① 〖WTBX〗Longchuanacris〖WTBZ〗 is placed within the subfamily Caryandinae; ② 〖WTBX〗Sinopodisma〖WTBZ〗 and 〖WTBX〗Yunnanacris〖WTBZ〗 are both synonyms of〖WTBX〗 Podismodes〖WTBZ〗; ③　〖WTBX〗 Yupodisma 〖WTBZ〗is still a separate genus within Podisminae instead of a synonym of 〖WTBX〗Anapodisma〖WTBZ〗; 4）the molecular phylogeny of 7 new species is consistant with previous morphological phylogeny. This finding suggests a combination of molecular and morphological approaches are necessary for accurate species identification.
