Abstract

Two new species [i.e. Bryodemella (s. str.) xinjiangensis sp. nov. and B. (s. str.). nigrifemura sp. nov.] of the genus Bryodemella Yin (Orthoptera, Oedipodidae) from China are described in this paper. A key to eight known species of the subgenus in China is presented. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University (MHU), China.
