There are now more than 28,000 described orthopterans globally (Cigliano et al., 2018) and this figure is likely to increase in the future. The same is true for Southeast Asia, where we are still at a stage of discovering species new to science, and this is partly an artefact of incomplete sampling (Tan et al., 2017a). In one of the most popular biodiversity hotspots, i.e., Borneo, is the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre. It is located in the primary lowland and ridge dipterocarp forests of the Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei Darussalam. Recent collection of orthopterans in the area led to the discovery of several new species of katydids (Tan et al., 2017b; Tan Wahab, 2017a) and crickets (Tan et al., 2017c; Tan Wahab, 2017b). Here, we describe another new species of katydid, from the genus Tapiena Bolívar, 1906. Tapiena currently consists of 26 species (Tan et al., 2015) and is distributed around Asia and even Africa. In Borneo, only one species is known: Tapiena incisa Karny, 1923 from Sarawak (see Karny, 1923). The new species Tapiena paraincisa sp. nov. represents the second species described from Borneo.
目前全球已描述的直翅目昆虫超过28000种（西利亚诺等人，2018年），而且这一数字未来可能还会增加。东南亚的情况也是如此，我们仍处于发现科学新物种的阶段，这在一定程度上是采样不完整的结果（谭等人，2017a）。在最热门的生物多样性热点地区之一，即婆罗洲，有瓜拉贝朗野外研究中心。它位于文莱达鲁萨兰国乌鲁淡布隆国家公园的原始低地和山脊龙脑香林中。最近在该地区采集直翅目昆虫时发现了几种新的螽斯物种（谭等人，2017b；谭瓦哈布，2017a）和蟋蟀物种（谭等人，2017c；谭瓦哈布，2017b）。在此，我们描述了另一种来自塔皮纳属（玻利瓦尔，1906年）的螽斯新物种。塔皮纳目前包含26个物种（谭等人，2015年），分布在亚洲乃至非洲。在婆罗洲，已知只有一个物种：来自砂拉越的塔皮纳缺刻螽斯，卡尼，1923年（见卡尼，1923年）。新物种塔皮纳拟缺刻螽斯代表了从婆罗洲描述的第二个物种。
