Description.
P. magnicerca
was described in the genus
Cestromoecha
, but actually belongs to the genus
Poreuomena
since sharing all generic characters with this genus and lacking a mirror on the right tegmen, typical for
Cestromoecha
. The stridulatory area of the left tegmen is black (Figs
80
,
81
); the stridulatory file is long and straight and has about 50 teeth (Fig.
82
) and is clearly longer and has smaller teeth than
C. longicerca
. The cerci are stout, long and incurved, with the basal part rounded and the apical part pointed; they appear trifid because, subapically, they have a well-developed upper laterally flattened bulge and an inner long spine (Figs
83
,
84
). The subgenital plate is concave, triangular and elongated, with a deep concavity and with processes positioned very close to each other (Fig.
85
).
Colour.
Probably predominantly green when alive, brown to tawny when preserved. The stridulatory area of the left tegmen and the area below black. Small black spots are present on the posterior margins of the tegmina.
Measurements
(mm).
Males. Body length: 19.5-21.0; pronotum length: 3.9-4.0; pronotum height: 3.4-3.6; length of hind femora: 19.4-21.7; length of tegmina: 30.3-33.0.
Females.
Body length: 17.7-21.0; pronotum length: 4.1-4.9; pronotum height: 3.1-4.0; length of hind femora: 18.8-21.7; length of tegmina: 27.7-29.2; width of tegmina: 4.6-5.0; length of ovipositor: 5.1-5.9.
Distribution.
Known only from the Central African Republic.
