03FF87C6532BA111FF1E3F2BFE1141E1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Closely related to Orestes Redtenbacher, 1906, Hainanphasma Ho gen. nov. is distinguished by slenderer and thinner antennae in both sexes. The female is characterized by posteriorly projecting and punctulate occipital crest. The male is characterized by strongly elevated occipital crest, distinctive hump on fourth and fifth abdominal terga and postero-dorsal carina of meso- and metafemora with three distinct fin-like lamellae. Also closely related to Pylaemenes Stål, 1875, Hainanphasma Ho gen. nov. is distinguished by slenderer and thinner antennae in both sexes. The female differs by faint median carina and parallel-sided thorax. The male differs by indistinct median carina and unarmed thorax. Egg structure of this new genus (Figs. 17 – 18) is distinctive and unique from all other genera in the subfamily.	en	Wai-Chun, George Ho (2013): Contribution to the knowledge of Chinese Phasmatodea II: Review of the Dataminae Rehn & Rehn, 1939 (Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae) of China, with descriptions of one new genus and four new species.

The only allied species is Planispectrum hainanensis (Chen & He, 2008) comb. nov., but this species is different from the latter by the gently emarginate posterior margin of the anal segment, legs lacking setae, and antero-dorsal and postero-dorsal carinae of meso- and metafemora with indistinct fin-like lamellae. Notes. Male is not known. This species is likely to reproduce by thelytokous parthenogenesis.

Thorax distinctly carinate medially. Male armed with spines. Notes. Since Datames Stål, 1875 was synonymised with Pylaemenes Stål, 1875 (Hennemann 1998), all the Datames species were transferred to the latter genus. In China, all known Pylaemenes are documented from female specimens. These preliminary data might indicate that males are rare, or that the concerned species represent allfemale obligate parthenogens. Therefore, the key is only given to the female.	en	Wai-Chun, George Ho (2013): Contribution to the knowledge of Chinese Phasmatodea II: Review of the Dataminae Rehn & Rehn, 1939 (Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae) of China, with descriptions of one new genus and four new species.

03FF87C65324A11DFF1E3B5EFDC540E4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is allied to Pylaemenes shirakii Ho & Brock spec. nov., but can be separated from the latter by smaller size, mesonotum only 2.5 x length of pronotum and third to fifth abdominal terga with posterolateral tubercles. Notes. Bi and Li (1994) originally placed this species in Datames Stål, 1875. Zompro (2004) combined this species to Dares Stål, 1875 and later Brock and Okada (2005) transferred it to Pylaemenes Stål, 1875. The species, Pylaemenes hongkongensis Brock & Seow-Choen, 2000 [Type from Hong Kong], was synonymised under the present species by Zompro (2004: 219). The record of this species from Japan (Brock & Okada, 2005) is misidentified and should refer to Pylaemenes shirakii Ho & Brock spec. nov. described in this study. The records of this species from Hainan is probably misidentified (Chen et al. 2002: 102; Hennemann et al. 2008: 24) and should refer to the new genus and new species, Hainanphasma cristata Ho gen. nov. spec. nov., described in this study. The specimen from Hoa Binh, North Vietnam deposited in IZCAS is well-matched with this species which is the first record from Vietnam and outside the range of China. In Hong Kong, it was usually found feeding on Rough Pellionia Pellionia scabra Benth. [Urticaceae], Antifebrile Dichroa Dichroa febrifuga Lour.

03FF87C65339A101FF1E3857FF20415E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species is similar to Pylaemenes guangxiensis (Bi & Li, 1994), but differs by its larger size, metanotum 4 x length of median segment, third to fifth abdominal terga lacking postero-lateral tubercles and the truncate posterior margin of the subgenital plate.	en	Wai-Chun, George Ho (2013): Contribution to the knowledge of Chinese Phasmatodea II: Review of the Dataminae Rehn & Rehn, 1939 (Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae) of China, with descriptions of one new genus and four new species.

03FF87C65339A101FF1E3857FF20415E.taxon	description	Description. Female (Figs. 29 – 31). General colour of body and legs brown. Medium-sized Pylaemenes. Head: Rounded. Vertex with two short spine-like tubercles between the bases of the antennae. Occiput elevated with a short crest-like structure, with four carinae, broad v-shape in dorsal view. Posterior margin with six small granule-like swellings. Eyes light brown, rounded and prominent. Antennae with 24 segments, densely covered with short setae, surpassing apices of protibiae, almost as long as the combined length of pronotum and mesonotum. The first segment broad, triangular in cross section, elevated with two spine-like tubercles on outer edge, the anterior one placed near the apex and the posterior one placed at the middle of the segment. Second segment almost as long as third segment. Apices of apical segment pointed. Thorax: Pronotum nearly square, slightly broader than long, longer than head, with an elevation surrounded by four short blunt spines placed before transverse sulcus; two short longitudinal carinae placed behind the transverse sulcus, with three small granules on the carina. Mesonotum 3 x length of pronotum, gently expanded posteriorly, indistinctly carinate medially. Lateral margins with few blackish granules and pits. Metanotum broader than long, 4 x length of median segment, with small pits along lateral margins. Meso- and metapleura with three to five small granules along lateral margins, postero-lateral angle with a small tuberculate elevation. Meso- and metasternum with few small granules. Abdomen: Rough surface, with short wrinkles and granules. Median segment 4 x broader than long. Fourth to sixth terga with x-shaped carina posteriorly. Fourth tergum broadest. Second to fourth terga broadened posteriorly, fifth to seventh terga narrowing posteriorly. Eighth tergum broadest among the three terminal terga. Ninth tergum with crest-like structure posteriorly, apex pointed and not emarginate apically, reaching middle of the anal segment. Anal segment almost as long as ninth tergum, broadly emarginate at posterior margin, lateral margins with a short tubercle medially, postero-lateral angles elevated and rounded. Subgenital plate reaching posterior margin of the anal segment, median carina thick, with short wrinkles, posterior margin truncate and elevated. Cerci small, not exposed behind the anal segment. Legs: Brown, mesofemora with a pale marking near the base. Profemora curved basally, broadened in second half, postero-dorsal carina with three elevations; antero-dorsal carina and antero-ventral carinae lacking armature. Antero-dorsal carina of protibiae with one small and slight elevation medially, ventral carinae lacking armature. Postero-dorsal carina of meso- and metafemora with three fin-like lamellae, anterior one largest. Antero-dorsal carina of meso- and metafemora with two indistinct small elevations. Antero-dorsal carina of meso- and metatibiae with one fin-like lamella medially. Postero-dorsal carina of all tibiae with two fin-like lamellae, anterior one larger than posterior one. Antero-ventral and postero-ventral carinae of meso- and metafemora with four to five small and slight elevations. Antero-ventral and postero-ventral carinae of meso- and metatibiae slightly waved.

Several authors (Shiraki 1935: 25; Cai 1987: 26; Hua 2000: 31; Brock & Okada 2005; Xu 2005: 76) mentioned the distribution of Orestes mouhotii [Type originally collected from Cambodia, also found in the southwestern China and several countries of South-East Asia] and Pylaemenes guangxiensis (Bi & Li, 1994) [Type from Guangxi, China] from Taiwan. By examining the material from Taiwan, it represents a distinct species and refers to this new species.	en	Wai-Chun, George Ho (2013): Contribution to the knowledge of Chinese Phasmatodea II: Review of the Dataminae Rehn & Rehn, 1939 (Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae) of China, with descriptions of one new genus and four new species.
