Paragavialidium nodiferum (Walker, 1871), comb. nov. Tettix nodifera: Walker 1871, Jacobson 1905. Acanthalobus nodiferus: Kirby 1910. Criotettix nodiferus: Günther 1938b. Platygavialidium nodiferum: Günther 1939, Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko 1951, Blackith 1992, Deng 2016. Platygavialidium uvarovi: Günther 1938a, 1939, Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko 1951. Type material examined. 1♀ HOLOTYPE N China (BMNH). Photographs of the type specimen are available online in OSF. Type locality: North China. Notes. The species is here transferred to the genus Paragavialidium. Günther (1938, 1939) placed the species in Platygavialidium. The species is transferred to this genus based on presence of moderately high frontomedial projections, strongly armed femora, and strong pronotal projections. It also fits the distribution area of the genus Paragavialidium and not of Platygavialidium. More research is needed to assess its exact locality and to check if some of the Chinese species are synonymous with it.
