Zhengitettix spp. have the following characteristics: Size small, slender; body surface smooth. Head and eyes distinctly exserted above pronotal surface; vertex strongly narrow, its width equal to the basal segment of antenna, still narrower towards front, more or less triangular in shape; width of longitudinal furrow of frontal ridge narrower than or equal to or slightly wider than antennal groove diameter; antennae filiform, antennal grooves inserted below or between inferior margins of compound eyes. In dorsal view, anterior margin of pronotum truncate; median carina entire; hind pronotal process narrow and long cone-shaped, extending beyond the apices of hind femora; in profile, median carina of pronotum straight or slightly undulate before shoulders; lateral lobes of pronotum turning outwardly, with triangular or short or long lateral spines, lateral spines of pronotal lateral lobes pointing sideway or slightly curved forward or obliquely backward. Tegmina long, ovate. Hind wings reaching apex of hind pronotal process. Fore and middle femora elongated, with straight ventral margins.</p><p>Zhengitettix is closely related to Hebarditettix Günther, 1938 in Scelimeninae . The difference between the two genera occurs in the characteristics of vertex. The Zhengitettix fastigium of vertex strongly narrow, still narrower towards the front, more or less triangular in shape. In Hebarditettix, width of vertex between eyes slightly narrower than width of compound eye, vertex not narrower towards the front and not triangular. Zhengitettix is also similar to Systolederus Bolívar, 1887 in Metrodorinae and Teredorus Hancock, 1906 in Tetriginae . The three genera characterised by almost the same combination of features: fastigium of vertex extremely narrow, still narrower towards the front. The main differences among the three genera occurs in the characteristics of posterior angles of pronotal lateral lobes. The Zhengitettix posterior angles of pronotal lateral lobes produced outward, end of posterior angles bearing triangular, subspiniform or spiniform. In Systolederus, posterior angles of pronotal lateral lobes produced outward, end of posterior angles truncate. In Teredorus, posterior angles of pronotal lateral lobes turned downwards, apex of posterior angles rounded.</p><p>Composition and distribution: Altogether, 16 species are now assigned to the genus Zhengitettix and found in China, Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines.</p><p>Key to the species of Zhengitettix Liang, 1994</p><p>1.
