Description. Male.
Body medium. Face with scattered impressed dots (
Fig. 16A
). Fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a narrow suture. Ocelli indistinct. Pronotum with anterior margin slightly projecting in middle, posterior margin almost straight (
Fig. 16C
); lateral lobes longer than high, ventral margin widely rounded (
Fig. 16D
). Fore coxae swollen with 1 spine (
Fig. 16B
). Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces. Fore tibiae with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs on ventral surface; middle tibiae with 3 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs on ventral surface. Hind femora with 8–10 internal and 2 external spines on ventral surface; tibiae with 2–4 internal and 4 external spines on dorsal surface, apices with 1 pair of dorsal spines and 2 pairs of ventral spines.
Second and third abdominal tergites each with two rows of stridulatory pegs (
Fig. 16E
). Posterior margin of eighth abdominal tergite prolonged to backwards, arched (
Fig. 16H
). Posterior margin of ninth abdominal tergite furrowed in middle area (
Fig. 16J
), posterior margin with triangular concavity (
Fig. 16F
), the lateral lobes with basal area swollen and ventral angles extended into a short spine which curved dorsad (
Fig. 16L
). Subgenital plate transverse, apical area with nearly U-shaped concavity (
Fig. 16I
), the lateral lobes prolonged into a long lobe which obviously longer than other species of the genus and depressed (
Fig. 16J
).
Female.
