Taxonomic revision identifies a new synonym for Ranacris species, suggesting close genetic ties.
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.
