(Figs. 1A; 2A; 3A; 4A; 7A,E; 9A; 11A; Table 1)

Atlanticus kulingensis Tinkham, 1941. Notes Ent. Chinoise 8(5):223; Jin & Xia, 1994. Jour. Orth. Res 3:28.

Atlanticus (Atlanticus) kulingensis: Bey-Bienko, 1955. Zoologicheskii Zhurnal 34:1269.

Material examined. China: Jiangxi Prov., Kuling (Lushan), 5 femlaes [IOZ(E)360499, 361980, 362000, 1340122, 1340120 (nymph)], 6 males [IOZ(E)361972, 361973, 361976, 361995, 361996, 1343039] 1935.VII.9-VIII.19, Coll. O. Piel; 2 males, [IOZ(E)1343019, 1343032], 1935.VIII.19, collector unknown; 1 female, collecting data and collector unknown; 3 males, 2 females, 2012.VII.20-21, Coll. Liu Chunxiang.

Redescription. Proximal three quarters of stridulatory file of male left tegmen with 68 distinct teeth gradually becoming larger centrad (Fig. 1A). Proximal one third part of mirror of male right tegmen covered by pronotum (Fig. 2A).

Female ovipositor robust (1.9 mm wide in middle), twice as long as pronotum, with moderately recurved apical half (about 15º angle) (Fig. 7E). Proximal one third of ovipositor narrowed from base, remainder of equal width, with upper margin slightly obliquely truncate in apex.

Notes. One male paratype collected from Haichou, Kiangsu province is not A. kulingensis. It is possible that Tinkham (1941) possessed only one male specimen which had male cerci that resembled those of A. kulingensis. Actually, A. kulingensis distinctly differs from the material from Haichou, Kiangsu province by shape of the pronotum and ovipositor (see below).

Distribution. China (Jiangxi).
