Supplementary description
.
Male.
Pronotum prolonged posteriorly, not surpassing posterior margin of 9th abdominal tergite, metazona obviously elevated; anterior margin of pronotum feebly straight while posterior margin arc-shaped; paranota longer than high, metazona slightly prolonged ventrally, without humeral sinus (
Fig. 1B
).
Lateral margins of 9th abdominal tergite somewhat prolonged posteriorly (
Fig. 1C
); 10th abdominal tergite protruding backward, basal half wide and apical half narrow with longitudinal sulcus in the midline apical area split (
Fig. 1G
), ventral margin extending ventrally (
Fig.
1I
) at the same time lateral margins gently enlarged outward, apices obtusely rounded. Cercus robust at base, inner margin of basal area with 1 small projection, inner margin of subapical area expanded inner-dorsad, phylloid (
Fig. 1G
); apical area of cercus spiniform, faintly compressed, blunt apically. Genitalia sclerotized, longer than subgenital plate (
Fig. 1
I-J); basal area wide while tapering apically, terminal expanded dorsad, margins rolled backward (
Fig 1L
). Subgenital plate nearly rectangular, basal area somewhat broad, apical area with a triangular notch; styli stout, inserted on apico-lateral margins of subgenital plate (
