Redescription.
Male. Stridulatory area of left tegmen long oval,
3.48 mm
long,
1.84 mm
wide (
Fig. 9
O); stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen concave and slightly curved,
1.57 mm
long; teeth slightly dense in basal fifth; with 138–158 teeth (
Figs. 4
E, 11N); mirror roughly oval,
3.67 mm
long,
1.91 mm
wide (
Fig. 9
P). Cerci long, reaching apex of subgenital plate (
Fig. 8
E); baso-interal side expanded; strongly curved inwards in apical third and then slightly curled upwards; apex with a wide, slightly curved, sclerotized tooth (
Fig. 8
G). Phallus with two pairs of sclerites: lateral sclerites long, sheet-shaped, top denticulate; medial sclerites small, bilobate, dorsal lobe longer and denticulate, ventral lobe rather shorter. Subgenital plate rather long, surpassing apex of subgenital plate; curved dorsally before middle; lateral carinae distinct on ventral surface; basal part broad and medial area narrow, apical part widened, posterior margin longitudinally split into two lobes directed outwards (
Fig. 8
F).
Female. Similar to male in general appearance. Cerci short, conical. Ovipositor short and wide, curved upwards, with small denticles on dorsal and apico-ventral margins (
Fig. 8
H). Subgenital plate rounded-triangular, medial carina distinct on ventral surface, apex excised widely, with a medial lobe at bottom, and not longer than lateral lobes (
Fig.
8
I). (The female is the first description).
Color
. Body yellowish green. Pronotum with large brown dots on disc and in dorsal area of paranota; tegmen with large brown dots in centre of cells in lateral field, a rather large dark spot almost occupies dorsal field of male left tegmen; numerous red dots on abdominal tergites and several red dots on lateral sides of femora, sparse brown dots on lateral sides of posttibiae; male tibial tympana with brown conchate fold and lateral black stripes on basal dorsum.
