In this paper, we used an integrative approach to identify species, including morphology and multiple methods for molecular identification, which clarified the present taxonomic problems on Diestramima . We estimated the temporal and spatial divergence of this genus, and present a historical framework for the phylogeny and biogeography of these Oriental realm endemic cave crickets. And in the discussion, we try to predict the historical dispersal pattern of pure Oriental species in China from this groups.
