03D140380366FFB0FF2C133C1BF0F858.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This new species is similar to Nicephora (Eunicephora) dianxiensis Wang & Liu, 2013, but it differs from the latter in: Male cercus with a narrow lobate expansion between basal area and apical third, inner margin sinuate. Male genitalia lamellar, lateral margin of basal half extends outward, curved inwards and backwards, apical area rounded; apical area of genitalia lamellar, nearly rectangular, curved upwards, posterior margin rounded. The new species is similar to the species of the genus Nicephora in appearance except for wings, also similar to the species of the genus Neoteratura Shi & Zhang, 2021. However, the known species of the genus Neoteratura with various branches on male cerci, and the genitalia is not lamellar. Based on the morphology of the male cerci and its genitalia, the new species is tentatively attributed to the genus Nicephora.	en	Su, Jie, Wang, Haijian, Chang, Yanlin (2023): Two new species of the genus Nicephora Bolívar, 1900 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae Meconematinae) from Yunnan, China.
