Facial carinae divergent, forming scutellum as wide as scapus before widening distinctly at bottom. Lateral carinae of vertex following outline of eye anteriorly; curved inward, almost straight at half-length of frontal costa from the top. Nodules distinct from top of vertex to halfway of compound eye. Paired ocelli placed at about bottom third. Top margin of antennal groove below lower margin of compound eyes. Minute hairs distributed all over face. Caudal margin of eye not in contact with anterior margin of pronotum. Vertex below top margin of eyes. Frontal costa visible as straight in front of anterior level of eyes, incurves halfway from top of compound eye, diverges into two facial carinae and runs straight down to lower margin of compound eye. Facial carinae curve outwards, forming a convex protrusion. Head exserted above general surface of pronotum, vertex approximately at level of elevation in anterior part of pronotum. Hairs present in lower half of face. Vertex at base of eyes wider than an eye, slightly narrowing anteriorly, as wide as an eye at its apex. Anterior margin of vertex in line with anterior margin of the eyes; frontal costa produced slightly ahead of anterior margin of eyes. Medial carina of vertex extending slightly beyond anterior half of vertex between eyes. Lateral carinae of vertex present in anterior half of vertex between eyes. Fossulae shallow, elongated, and present in anterior two-thirds of vertex between eyes. Posterior margin of eyes distinctly in front of anterior margin of pronotum.

: Brachypronotal, tip of the pronotum slightly shy of tip of abdomen. Sub rectangular. Median carina raised in anterior part of pronotum above vertex giving a tectiform appearance. Median carina sinuate, with most prominent elevation at transition between prozona and metazona; undulation gradually decreases in elevation afterwards. Prozonal carinae elevated, clearly visible. Prozona sulcated with sulci of an irregular shape. Lateral lobe sub-rectangular, sub-rounded. Ventral and tegminal sinus in shape of an obtuse angle. Humero-apical carina distinctly visible. Infrascapular area long; subrectangular in anterior half, gradually narrowing toward end. Lateral area progressively widening caudally. Small nodules present throughout the surface of pronotum. Small nodules distributed over entire surface. Anterior margin of pronotum truncated. Prozonal carinae distinct, converging caudally. Median carina continuous, reaching apex of pronotum. Lateral lobes projected downward; apex sub-rounded. Humeral angles oblique. Pronotum progressively narrowing caudally, ending in bluntly rounded apex. External lateral carina undulating. Internal lateral carina converges internally in last fifth, thereafter runs straight to tip, exposing wide lateral area. Two dark humeroapical spots present.

) in coloration and the majority of the traits. However, the nymphs differ from adult individuals in having shorter pronotum (pronotum nearly reaches the hind knees in brachypronotal and extends beyond the hind knees in macropronotal adults), absence of wings, lack of antegenicular teeth on hind femora, poorly developed external genitalia, and the carinae being comparatively more distinctly expressed. The nymphs develop from one instar to the other by casting off the exoskeleton in the form of exuviae (Fig. 
<figureCitation captionStart="Fig. 9" captionStartId="F9" captionText="Fig. 9. Exuviae of S. kasalo sp. nov. in natural habitat.

) in the process of molting. Typically, the parts from the tip of the vertex to the tip of the pronotum are opened dorsally (Fig. 
<figureCitation captionStart="Fig. 9" captionStartId="F9" captionText="Fig. 9. Exuviae of S. kasalo sp. nov. in natural habitat.

) to let the individual tetrigid out while the other parts remain intact. The intactness of the exuvia might make them useful for some morphological studies.
