... The main clade being related to the genus Phaenopharos Kirby, 1904, which also has small and red hindwings (Bank & Bradler 2022). Oxyartes is distributed in the Oriental region (Brock et al. 2023, Chen & Ho 2008, Hennemann et al. 2008, Ho 2017, 2018, 2020, Mandal & Yadav 2010. Subsequently, three new Chinese species and the record of O. lamellatus from China were described (Chen & He 2008). ...
... Subsequently, three new Chinese species and the record of O. lamellatus from China were described (Chen & He 2008). Following that, nine further taxa were described from Yunnan Province, China (Ho 2017(Ho , 2020. ...
... This genus is representative of the high diversity of the subfamily Necrosciinae in China. (Brock & Büscher 2022, Brock et al. 2023, Chen & He 2008, Hennemann et al. 2008, Ho 2017, 2018, 2020. A revised key to species is provided as well. ...
The genus Oxyartes currently comprises 17 taxa, of which 12 are found in China, representing the high diversity in China. This list includes the two species from China as described in this paper. The first is a new remarkable species O. bouxraeuz sp. nov. collected from Gulinqing township, Yunnan. The second is a newly recorded species, O. cresphontes. This species is reported from Mêdog, Xizang, China. A key to this genus from China is presented. Type specimens are deposited in the Yunnan Agricultural University (YNAU).
... Hennemann (2007) proposed the "Neohirasea-complex" and then introduced the tribe Neohiraseini (Hennemann & Conle 2008). The molecular study considered the tribe Neohiraseini unnecessary and treated it as a synonym of Necrosciinae (Bradler et al. 2014, Ho 2017. We agree that it is unnecessary as a tribe, but "Neohirasea-complex" can be used as a name with no taxonomic significance to include these morphologically similar genera. ...
... We agree that it is unnecessary as a tribe, but "Neohirasea-complex" can be used as a name with no taxonomic significance to include these morphologically similar genera. There are 7 genera (Andropromachus; Cheniphasma Ho, 2012;Neohirasea Rehn, 1904;Neoqiongphasma Ho, 2013;oedohirasea Ho, 2020;Pseudocentema Chen, He & Li, 2002;Qiongphasma Chen, He & Li, 2002) of "Neohirasea-complex" recorded in China, three of which are unique to Hainan Island (Ho 2012(Ho , 2013(Ho , 2016(Ho , 2017(Ho , 2020. Recently, a new phylogenetic relationship based on the mitogenomes showed that Necrosciinae can be divided into two clades, one of which showed that the genus Neohirasea is more closely related to the genus Micadina Redtenbacher, 1908(Li et al. 2022. ...
A new species Andropromachus ynau sp. nov.. is described and the Chinese species of the moss-like stick insect genus Andropromachus are reviewed. An updated key to the known species of this genus is provided. Types of the new species are deposited in Yunnan Agricultural University (YNAU).
... The genus Oxyartes Stål, 1875 consists of nine species and is a small Necrosciinae genus in the Oriental region (Otte and Brock, 2005;Chen and He, 2008;Hennemann et al., 2008;Ho, 2017;Brock et al., 2018). This genus is characterized by a slender and elongate body, partially armed or unarmed thorax and abdomen, scale-like tegmina and rudiment-like alae. ...
... Chen and He (2008) provided the first taxonomic study for the Chinese species with the descriptions of three new species and one newly recorded species. Latter Ho (2017) revised the Chinese species with the descriptions of two new species. ...
Hong Kong Entomological Bulletin / Ho, G.W.C. 2018. A new species of the genus Oxyartes Stål, 1875 from Vietnam (Phasmida: Diapheromeridae: Necrosciinae). Hong Kong Entomological Bulletin 10(1): 3-6. [http://hkentsoc.org/bulletin/Vol10(1)Apr18_Ho_Oxyartes_sp_n.pdf]
... However, recent works are still neglecting this organ (e.g. Hennemann et al., 2016;Ho 2017;Cumming et al., 2017). Why do authors keep avoiding the investigation of the male genitalia? ...
The male genitalia have been neglected in Phasmatodea studies over the years. There are few works describing and illustrating this organ and no studies demonstrating its usage. Concerned by this matter, this paper aimed to investigate whether the male genitalia of Phasmatodea is useful for systematics. First, by describing a new species of Creoxylus Audinet-Serville (Creoxylus duckei sp. nov.) and including the description of its male genitalia, along with the differentiation from the male genitalia of the know species Creoxylus spinosus (Fabricius). By comparing these two genitalia, the first case of chirality in Phasmatodea was reported. Secondly, by describing the genitalia of two Prexaspes Stål species (Prexaspes viridipes Stål and another identified to genus level) and making the differentiation between them. Finally, by comparing all four described genitalia. Results showed that the male genitalia are useful to differentiation and identification of species/genera. It is discussed what knowledge can be drawn from these genitalia descriptions in terms of phylogeny of Xerosomatinae and Phasmatodea as a whole, as well as homologies with previous literature.
This is the first investigation of stick insect from the Yintiaoling National Nature reserve, Chongqing of China. Totally seven species were collected. Four of them belong to the subfamily Clitumninae of Phasmatidae: Interphasma emeiense Chen & He, 2008, Paraentoria sichuanensis Chen & He, 1997, Parabaculum wushanense (Chen & He, 1997) and Baculonistria alba (Chen & He, 1990). The other three belong to the subfamily Necrosciinae of Lonchodidae, including two new species: Micadina conifera Chen & He, 1997, Hemisosibia yintiaolingensis sp. nov. and Dianphasma chongqingensis sp. nov.
The recently described genus Spinomarmessoidea is comprised of only 2 species from Peninsular Malaysia. The 3rd species of this genus, Spinomarmessoidea damingensis sp. nov. is described from Guangxi Province, China. The new species represents the first record of this genus in China. The granulose head of new species without large spines and mesonotum with short spines are distinguished from the other 2 species. A key to the female of this genus is compiled. Type materials are deposited in the Yunnan Agricultural University (YNAU).
