Tondanotettix brevis meridionalis Günther, 1937: 183 , fig. 20, 21 (syntypes – 1♀, 1♂,

Sulawesi: Lompo Batang, 1000 m, 03.1896, leg. Fruhstorfer; deposition of syntypes unknown because the part of specimens deposited in the former Museum Stettin is found in MZPW now); Günther, 1938: 349; Blackith, 1992: 193; Otte, 1997: 28; Tumbrinck,

2014: 389.

REMARKS. The subspecies differs from the holotype of Tondanotettix brevis brevis only by the shape of pronotum but Tumbrinck (2014) considered that this feature could also be variable. I consider these two forms to be separate subspecies, as they are found in different parts of the island, in the north-east and south-west, respectively.

DISTRIBUTION. Indonesia: Sulawesi Selatan (= South Sulawesi, ca. 5.40°S, 120.00°E) .
