Diagnosis.
Vertex pointed and conical in lateral view. Pronotum with a prominent pointed process on anterior margin (
Figs. 19A–B
), sometimes on posterior margin as well (
Figs. 19D–E
). Hind femora and tibiae with cylindrical spines, elongated and curving, all genicular lobes developed as long spines. Male cerci elongate and sickle-shaped or the shape resembling tweezers, internally excavated (
Figs. 19C, F
). Ovipositor broad, strongly curved upward, margins parallel and broadly rounded, apex delicately serrate. Female cerci are slender and elongate.

Key to species of
Lichenodraculus
1. Only prozonal spine of the pronotum developed and as long as the vertex (
Figs. 19A, B
); male cerci with inner branch reduced (
Fig. 19C
); ovipositor of female robust, with the dorsal and ventral margins slightly denticulate from the middle to the apex....................................................................................

Braun, 2011
.
- Both prozonal and metazonal spine of the pronotum developed, of similar size and not longer than the vertex in male, in female the pronotal spines are almost as long as the vertex (
Fig. 19D, E
); male cerci with inner branch almost as long as outer branch and with sclerotized margin (
Fig. 19F
); ovipositor slender, dorsal and ventral margins crenulated from middle to apex.............................................................................
