Figures 1–2
Description. Male.
Body medium. Fastigium verticis about two times as wide as scape, projecting forwards; fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a wide suture; face conically swollen in lateral view with sparse dots (
Fig. 1C
). Ocelli indistinct. Pronotum with anterior margin slightly projecting, posterior margin faintly concave (
Fig. 1B
); lateral lobes longer than high (
Fig. 1C
). Fore coxae swollen with 1 spine (
Fig. 1C
). Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces, hind femora with 3–8 internal and 2–5 external spines on ventral surface (
Fig. 1D
). Fore and middle tibiae ventrally with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs, middle tibiae with 1 internal spine on dorsal surface. Hind tibiae with 2–3 pairs of spines on dorsal surface, apices with 1 pair of dorsal spurs and 2 pairs of ventral spurs.
Second and third abdominal tergites each with two rows of stridulatory pegs (
Fig. 1D
). Posterior margin of eighth abdominal tergite arched in the middle area (
Fig. 1G
). Posterior margin of ninth abdominal tergite prolonged to ventrad, furrowed in middle area, ventral angles extended into a curved spine which S-shaped in apical view, its tip acute and curved downward and forward. Tenth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of conical processes (
Fig. 1G
). Subgenital plate transverse, furrowed along the midline, swollen on both sides (
Fig. 1I
); posterior margin heartshaped concave, the lateral lobes prolonged into digitiform lobes (
Fig. 1H
).

Female.
Seventh abdominal sternite broad, posterior margin projecting in middle. Subgenital plate longer than wide; basal one-fifths areas of lateral margins wide, then contracted and narrowing to apex, posterior margin angular (
Fig. 2H
). Ovipositor short, apical half gradually upcurved; dorsal and ventral margins smooth, apices obtuse (
Fig. 2G
).
Coloration.
Body yellow brown, darker. Fastigium verticis with transverse black stripe which suited the wide suture between fastigium frontis and fastigium verticis (
Figs. 1A
,
2A
). The conical swelling of face black which extending into the posterior margin of pronotum, in dorsal surface of head forming a semicircular black pattern, in the disc of pronotum which widened at anterior, middle and posterior areas. Genae with black longitudinal stripes below eyes. Thoracic tergites with black margins (
Figs. 1B
,
2B
). Apices of fore and middle femora black. Basal and apical areas of all tibiae black, and dorsal spines of hind tibiae black.

Discussion.
The new species differs from
Apterolarnaca
(
Bianigryllacris
)
parvospinus
(Liu & Yin, 2002)
by the apical area of spines of male tenth abdominal tortile (
Fig. 1E–F, H–J
), its apices directing downward and forward, tenth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of conical processes (
Fig. 1G
), female subgenital plate longer than wide with posterior margin narrowly rounded (
Fig. 2H
).
Etymology.
The new species drives from Latin
bi
and
procer
referring to the tenth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of conical processes.
