Based on an examination of types and additional materials, Chinese species in the genera Genimen and Genimenoides were reviewed. As a result of our study, Genimen burmanum Ramme, 1941 was shown not to occur in China, the species Genimen zhengi Mao, Ren & Ou, 2010, syn. nov. was synonymized under Genimen yunnanensis Zheng, Huang & Liu, 1988, and Genimenoides vittatum Mao, Ren & Ou, 2010 was transferred to Genimen, as the new combination Genimen vittatum (Mao, Ren & Ou, 2010), comb. nov. An updated species key for Genimen is provided.

The species composition of the Caryanda tamdaoensis species-group (Acrididae: Caryandinae: Caryanda Stål, 1878) is discussed. A new species, Caryanda hongheensis Mao, Yin & Song, sp. nov., is described and illustrated from China. A new synonymy is proposed: Caryanda tamdaoensis Storozhenko, 1992 = Caryanda aurata Mao, Ren & Ou, 2007, syn. nov. The name of the Caryanda aurata species-group is accordingly replaced by the Caryanda tamdaoensis species-group. Caryanda azurea Gorochov & Storozhenko, 1994 is divided into two subspecies: Caryanda azurea azurea stat. nov. from Vietnam and Caryanda azurea colourfula Mao, Ren & Ou, 2011, stat. nov. from China. A key to the species and two subspecies of this species group is given. All species are illustrated.

Caryanda is a group of morphologically diverse, non-flying locusts. In November 2024, we first discovered two unknown species of the genus in Nangonghe Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province. In this study, the effectiveness of these two new species was verified by integrating morphological, morphometric, and mitochondrial genomic methods. Finally, two new species, Caryanda gengmaensis Mao et Li sp. nov. and Caryanda analbomaculata Mao et Li sp. nov., were proposed and described in detail, and two similar species color plates were attached: C. cyanonota Mao & Li, 2015 and C. albomaculata Mao, Ren & Ou, 2007.

By careful examination, three new species, i.e. Caryanda bicornuta Mao et Yin sp. nov., Caryanda yuanyangensis Mao et Yin sp. nov. and Caryanda shizongensis Mao et Song sp. nov., and a newly discovered male of Caryanda gulinensis Zheng, Shi & Chen, 1994 from Yunnan, China were detailedly described and illustrated in color. Type specimens are deposited in the Biological Sciences Museum, Dali University (BMDU), Yunnan Province, China.

Ranacris You & Lin, 1983, is a small genus in the subfamily Habrocneminae with an undefined phylogenetic position, exhibiting in previous molecular studies a distant relationship with the genera in the same subfamily but an extremely close relationship with the genus Menglacris Jiang & Zheng, 1994, in another subfamily, Catantopinae. In this study, a taxonomic revision of Ranacris was conducted based on the examination of types and non-type material and the comparison of qualitative and quantitative characters. A morphometric analysis was carried out to test the statistical significance of the quantitative distinguishing characters among Ranacris. A new junior synonym is proposed: R. yunnanensis Mao, Ren & Ou, 2011 = R. jinpingensis Zheng, Lin, Deng & Shi, 2015, syn. nov.
