A new species of the genus Eokingdonella Yin, 1984 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae) from Yunnan, China

The genus Eokingdonella was established by Yin in 1984, with E. gentiana (Uvarov, 1939) as the type species. Ten species have been described in this genus. A new species, E. maoi sp. nov., is described here from Yunnan Province of China, representing a new provincial record for the genus. The new species is similar to E. burrusitibia Zheng, Dong & Xu, 2013, but differs from the latter by the following characters: 1) epiproct 5.4 times as long as furcula; 2) anteromedian margin of pronotum depressed; 3) 1st transverse sulcus on pronotum not cutting median carina; 4) epiproct with median longitudinal groove between base and middle; 5) male epiproct with denticles in median.
