Generic characters.
Body small. Head hypognathous. Fastigium verticis conical, apex rounded, with longitudinal sulcus on dorsal surface. Compound eyes globular, protruding forward. Frons slightly sloping backward. Apical segment of maxillary palpus approximately equated in length with subapical segment, apex swollen and rounded. Pronotum slightly elongate backward, with a median carina; lateral lobe longer than deep, humeral sinus absent. Thoracic auditory spiracle exposed, peanut shape. Tegmina shorter, only reaching apex of abdomen, tapering, apices slightly and obliquely truncated; hind wings slightly shorter than tegmina. All femora without spines on ventral surfaces; tibial tympana open on both sides; genicular lobe of postfemora with apex rounded; posttibia with a pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Posterior margin of male tenth abdominal tergite concave, with a pair of posterior processes; cercus with 2 branches; genitalia entirely sclerotized, exposed; subgenital plate with styli. Ovipositor slightly upcurved, ventral valvulae with apices hooked.
Discussion.
The new genus is similar to
Aphlugiolopsis
Wang, Liu & Li, 2015
, but differs in: posterior margin of male tenth abdominal tergite concave, with a pair of posterior processes; styli positioned on apex of subgenital plate. It resembles
Neocononicephora
Gorochov, 1998
, but differs in: posttibia with 3 pairs of apical spurs; male genitalia entirely sclerotized.
Etymology.
The name of the new genus is derived from its
type
locality (Longlin,
Guangxi
,
China
).
