Twenty-three new synonyms of the Eastern common groundhopper, Tetrixjaponica (Bolivar, 1887) (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae).

ABSTRACT: The Eastern common groundhopper, Tetrixjaponica, is a pygmy grasshopper species widely distributed in the Eastern Palearctic region, and shows a high degree of phenotypic variation. The classification of Tetrixjaponica is difficult and frequently involved errors. Among the many species of Tetrigidae that have been described in China within the last decades, many synonyms of Tetrixjaponica were found. The type specimens of many species deposited in the Chinese museums have been re-examined and as a result, Tetrixjaponica is systematically revised. Based on the results of this review, 23 new synonyms of Tetrixjaponica are proposed: Coptotettixcircinihumerus Zheng & Deng, 2004, syn. nov.; Coptotettixemeiensis Zheng, Lin & Zhang, 2012,
