03B3879F4A2DFF93FF1A79909831D2D1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Valiatrella multiprotubera displays some variation. The specimen deposited at NWAFU is somewhat different from the holotype as follows: epiphallus very similar in dorsal view, but slightly narrowed in the NWAFU specimen; and, ectophallus apodeme also longer than in holotype. These two specimens are slightly different in epiphallus profile view, with the upper apical hooks slightly longer and especially forward pointed distally in the NWAFU specimen (but in holotype short and just upward-pointed). And the lateral lobe (vertical) bends upward in the NWAFU specimen but is posterior-pointed in the holotype.	en	Libin, Ma, Yalin, Zhang (2013): Taxonomic study of the cricket genus Valiatrella Gorochov (Gryllidae, Podoscirtinae) from China.

03B3879F4A2DFF92FF1A7F239D6FD07C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Valiatrella species can be separated into two groups, the Pulchra- and Bimaculata Groups, based on the male supra-anal plate (the former conspicuously bifurcated and the Bimaculata Group are not). Valiatrella persicifolius belongs to the Pulchra Group. In this group, the lobes of the anal plate of Valiatrella laminaria are laminate shaped and they diverge from each other. This is a distinguishing character serving to identify the species from others in the group (including the new one). The two species Valiatrella pulchra and Valiatrella sororia are very similar, especially in shape of their genitalia (Gorochov, 2002). But the genitalia of the new species are distinct with them. The horizontal lateral lobe of the epiphallus, in Valiatrella pulchra and Valiatrella sororia, are conspicuously long and bent inward, so that it extends to the lower part of the other lobe. But that lobe in new species is short and slightly bent, so that it is much separated from the other lobe and clearly visible from the body’s left side.	en	Libin, Ma, Yalin, Zhang (2013): Taxonomic study of the cricket genus Valiatrella Gorochov (Gryllidae, Podoscirtinae) from China.
