ḔṮAEợ⁂
Figures 2–3
Description. Male.
Body large. Frons smooth with impressed dots (
Fig. 2A
). Fastigium verticis slightly wider than scape, the lateral margins raised. Ocelli distinct.
Pronotum projected faintly projecting in the median of anterior margin, posterior margin truncate (
Fig. 2C
); lateral lobes longer than deep (
Fig. 2D
).
Fore coxae with 1 spine. Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces; hind femora with 15–16 internal and 6–11 external spines on ventral surface. Fore and middle tibiae with 5 pairs of ventral spurs, including 1 pair of apical ones; hind tibiae with 4–6 internal and 5–6 external spines on dorsal surface, apices with 1 pair of dorsal spurs, 1 pair of subapical ventral spurs and 2 pairs of ventral spurs.
Tegmina developed, obviously surpassing the apex of abdomen, and reaching the apices of hind tibiae. Second and third abdominal tergites without stridulatory pegs (
Fig. 2E
). Eighth abdominal tergite prolonged backwards and ventrad. Ninth abdominal tergite split along the midline, on both sides swollen, ventro-apical angle produced into a short, stout, and incurved spine gradually narrowing to acute tip, apices curved, in situ spines crossing each other (
Fig. 2F
). Subgenital plate broader than long, basal margin nearly straight, posterior margin arched (
Fig. 2F
). Styli cylindrical, upcurved, longer than subgenital plate, inserted at apico-lateral angles of the plate.
Female.
Seventh abdominal sternite densely setose. Subgenital plate longer than wide, basal margin straight with 1 pair of copulatory depressions, lateral margins narrowing with middle area contracted (
Fig. 3H, I
), apical half narrowly rounded, posterior margin almost straight. Ovipositor elongate, faintly upcurved, tip subacute (
Fig. 3G
).
Coloration.
Body yellowish brown. Frons purple. Eyes, genae and labrum black. Ocelli yellowish. Margins of pronotum black, disc with black patterns as
Figs. 2C
and
3B
. Dorsal spines of hind black.

in the following: body lighter, yellowish brown, the black pattern of pronotum projecting in middle; male ninth abdominal tergite with short, stout spines, posterior margin of subgenital plate arched instead of obtusely triangularly concave; lateral margins of female subgenital plate contracted in middle, the apical half obvious narrower.
