The genus Ceracris Walker, 1870 is a median genus in Arcypteridae, which contains 23 species in the world, among them 11 species distributed in China [Walker, 1870; Bolivar, 1914; Uvarov, 1931; Zheng, 1977; Liu, 1981; Zheng, 1983; Yin, 1984; Liang, 1988; Wang, 1992; Liu et Li, 1995; Ou et al, 1995; Yin et al, 1996; Zheng et Xia, 1998; Zhang et al, 2017; Feng et al, 2018; Cigliano, 2018]. A new species of the genus from Hainan, China is described in this paper. The new species i.e. Ceracris amplicornis sp. nov. is similar to Ceracris versicolor (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893), but differs from latter by antennae short, length of a segment in the middle 2.9 times its width; lateral carinae of pronotum not intact and indistinct in metazona; median area of tegmen without intercalary vein; bridge of epiphallus straight and tegmen of female short, reaching the end of hind femur only. Type specimens are deposited in the Natural Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, Hebei, China.
蚱属(Ceracris Walker,1870)是斑腿蝗科中的一个中等属,世界上有23个物种,其中11种分布在中国[Walker,1870;Bolivar,1914;Uvarov,1931;郑,1977;刘,1981;郑,1983;殷,1984;梁,1988;王,1992;刘和李,1995;欧等人,1995;殷等人,1996;郑与夏,1998;张等人,2017;冯等人,2018;Cigliano,2018]。本文描述了中国海南该属的一个新物种。新物种即海南巨角蚱(Ceracris amplicornis sp. nov.)与异色蚱(Ceracris versicolor (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893))相似,但与后者的区别在于触角短,中部节长为宽的2.9倍;前胸背板侧隆线在后区不完整且不明显;前翅中域无闰脉;阳茎桥直,雌虫前翅短,仅达后足股节端部。模式标本保存于中国河北保定河北大学自然博物馆。
