Abstract:

With the species Atractomorpha sinensis as an outgroup, the phylogenetic relationships of 37 species belonging to 10
genera from 4 subfamilies(Caryandinae, Oxyinae, Podisminae and Melanoplinae)of Catantopidae were reconstructed based on COⅠ
gene 538 bp sequence data. The results suggested that: 1)the phylogenetic relationships among 4 subfamilies can be expressed as
(((Caryandinae, Oxyinae)Podisminae)Melanoplinae); 2)Caryandinae was supported as a monophyletic group; 3)the monophyly of
Canyanda and Longchuanacris can not be supported, but the two belong to the Caryandinae; 4)the monophyly of C. viridis species
group was supported which indicated the rationality of merging the Qinshuiacris into the Caryanda genus.

Key words: Caryandinae, phylogenetic, COⅠ gene, Catantopidae, Orthoptera
