摘要Rich materials can provide more opportunities for exploring the mechanisms of speciation driven by sexual selection.Being the fastest-evolving arthropods to date,the sword-tailed crickets of Nudilla Gorochov,1988(=Laupala Otte,1994)have rapidly diverged primarily due to the variability of their calling songs(sexual signals).In addition,they also exhibit morphological conservatism,with little variation between species.Similar circumstances can be seen in tree crickets(Oecanthinae),which have conservative morphology and a diverse range of song variations.Thus,we believe that tree crickets could serve as a model for research on sexual selection since they share a similar evolutionary history and mode of differentiation with Nudilla.However,due to the improper methods in analyzing the calling songs and nearly identical morphological features between taxa,there are many problems with the taxonomy of Oecanthinae in China.To solve these problems,we conducted an integrative taxonomic study of Chinese Oecanthinae based on comparative morphology,species delimitation,acoustical analysis,and phylogenetic analysis.This study recognized 12 Oecanthinae species in China,including four new species,and confirmed one new synonym and two misidentifications.Meanwhile,we confirmed the morphological stability of Oecanthinae,and revealed that variation in color,size,and morphology may be intraspecific polymorphism,which sometimes does not reflect the species relationships.The result indicates that the acoustic parameter freq.median can be used for efficient and accurate species delimitation in Oecanthinae.We speculate that incomplete species divergence leads to complexity in species relationships at the genetic level of Oecanthinae.The conservation of morphological characters,the interspecificity of songs and the complexity of species relationships suggest that sexual selection have played a role in the evolution of Oecanthinae.Our study resolves some systematic and taxonomic problems of Oecanthinae,clarifies the species relationships of Oecanthinae in China,and provides clues for expanding the cricket groups to be used in speciation studies.
