记述了采自中国台湾斑腿蝗科秃蝗亚科1新属台秃蝗属Taipoodisma gen.nov.和4新种:红股台秃蝗Taipodisma rufifemora sp.nov.,谢氏台秃蝗Taipodisma hsiehi sp.nov.,周氏台秃蝗Taipodisma chowi sp.nov.,黑胫台秃蝗Taipodisma nigritibia sp.nov.。新属台秃蝗属Taipoodisma gen.nov.同蹦蝗属Sinopodisma Chang,1940近似,不同之处为前胸背板后缘中央缺凹口,中隆线在沟前区不显,在沟后区留有痕迹。新属同辽秃蝗属Liaopodisma Zheng,1990也近似,不同之处为雄性后胸腹板两侧叶分开,不毗连。新种红股台秃蝗T.rufifemora sp.nov.后足股节内侧和下方红色可与同属其他种相区别。新种谢氏台秃蝗T.hsiehi sp.nov.缺黑色眼后带可与同属其他种相区别。新种周氏台秃蝗T.chowi sp.nov.同红股台秃蝗T.rufifemora sp.nov.近似,不同之处为后足股节内侧和下方非红色。新种黑胫台秃蝗T.nigritibia sp.nov.同周氏台秃蝗T.chowi sp.nov.近似,不同之处为前胸背板沿中隆线缺黑色纵带和前翅黄褐色,缺黑色带纹。列出了该属的种检索表。
A new genus Taipodisma gen. nov. and four new species,i. e. Taipodisma rufifemora sp.nov.,Taipodisma hsiehi sp. nov.,Taipodisma chowi sp. nov. and Taipodisma nigritibia sp. nov. of the subfamily Podisminae are described from Taiwan,China. The new genus Taipodisma gen. nov. is similar to Sinopodisma Chang,1940,but differs from the latter by hind margin of pronotum without hollow in the middle,median keel of pronotum invisible in prozona and vestigial in metazona. The new genus is also similar to Liaopodisma Zheng,1990,but differs from the latter by lateral lobes of metasternum not contiguous in male. The new species T. rufifemora sp. nov. differs from the other congeneric species by hind femora red on inner side and ventral side. The new species T. hsiehi sp. nov. differs from the other cougeneric species by postocular black band invisible. The new species T. chowi sp. nov. is allied to T.rufifemora sp. nov.,but differs from the latter by hind femora without red on inner and lower sides. The T. nigritibia sp. nov. is similar to T. chowi sp. nov.,but differs from the latter by pronotum without black longitudinal stripe along median keel and tegmina yellowish brown,without black stripe. The type specimens are deposited in the National Museum of Natural Science( NMNS),Taichung and the Institute of Entomology,Taiwan University,Taibei,Taiwan,China,respectively.
