Taxonomic remarks. The type species of the genera Bolotettix View in CoL ( B. validispinus View in CoL from Malaysia: Sarawak: Kuching) and Syzygotettix View in CoL ( S. boettcheri View in CoL from Philippines: Palawan: Binaluan) characterized by almost the same diagnostic features and undoubtedly belongs to one genus. Therefore, a new synonymy is proposed: Bolotettix Hancock, 1907 View in CoL = Syzygotettix Günther, 1938 View in CoL , syn. nov. Here five species are transferred from Syzygotettix View in CoL to Bolotettix View in CoL and new combinations are established: Bolotettix baeri ( Bolívar, 1887) , comb. nov., Bolotettix boettcheri Günther, 1938 , comb. nov., Bolotettix semperi Günther, 1938 , comb. nov., Bolotettix uncinatus ( Stål, 1877) , comb. nov., and Bolotettix vicinus Günther, 1938 , comb. nov.
