sp. n. usually have far less conspicuous maculae on the tegmina, being smaller and more longish and fewer in number. Mostly these maculae start about where the Rs vein branches off. Typical is also a dense net of white veins, especially in the costal area of the tegmen forming multiple small white dots. Also the costal margin is bordered white with veins branching off thick and very white in both sexes when alive (weakly expressed in the Udzungwa population of

species abdominal tergite bright yellow, tarsi whitish. Head and antennae. Antennae thin and whitish, surpassing tegmina. Eyes round, except for whitish upper part green or light green. Thorax and wings. Pronotal disc flat, longer posteriorly than pronotal lobes which are evenly rounded at lower part, with acute edge at insertion of tegmina and wings. Tegmina broad with leaf-like pattern of the veins, slightly truncate at tips, alae surpassing tegmina. Alae hyaline except for tips which are of same green colour than tegmina. Tegmina with net of white veins, on veins often white dots are formed, especially in costal area (Fig. 15B). Costal margin white bordered with veins directly branching off at margin thick and white. Stridulatory file (Fig. 17D) separated into three parts with small teeth near tegmen base, an elevation midway (arrow Fig. 4C) and large teeth at outer part of file. Legs. Fore femora with one outer spine and 1-4 inner spines ventrally. Mid femora with 3 outer and no inner ventral spines. Hind femora with double row of irregular set of 7-8 ventral spines. Fore tibiae in area of tympana slightly enlarged, with conchate inner tympanum and open oval tympanum on outer side; midway dorsal one spine, ventral several irregular set spinules. Mid tibiae with irregular set spinules in four rows. Hind tibiae dorsally two ridges densely covered by small spines, ventral side with few irregular set spines, curved. Abdomen. Venter white. Cerci slender and incurved (Fig. 17A, B), at tips with short ridge or 1-4 single sclerotized dents. Subgenital plate medially u-shaped incised, styli flat, roundish and somewhat inflated, touching each other medially when insect is alive (Fig. 17C).

Similar to male in size but with more roundish tegmina and mostly without ivory patches on tegmina or 1-2 and very small ones, mostly where Rs branches off.
