(body lengths: ɗɗ39.047.0 mm, ΨΨ47.051.0 mm), with an extremely spinose head and body, conspicuously swollen mesothorax (ΨΨin particular) and prominently dentate or lobate legs. Spines of the head and body often composite, aggregated in clusters, or forming spinose crest-like structures. Colouration green and brown, lichen- or moss-like. Thorax and most of abdomen with a fine longitudinal median carina dorsally (Ψfm in particular). Head indistinctly longer than wide and globose, vertex convex, ± conical and strongly spinose. A pair of supra-orbital spines present. No ocelli. Eyes small, circular and projecting hemispherically. Antennae filiform and&gt; 2/3 the length of body; consisting of&gt; 25 segments. Antennomeres elongate, increasing in length towards apex of antennae and club-like apically. Pronotum slightly shorter and narrower than the head, rectangular and spinose dorsally. Mesothorax of ΨΨconspicuously swollen medially and constricted anteriorly, of ɗɗ almost parallel-sided with median swelling very faint; at least 2.5x longer than prothorax (comparatively longer in ɗɗ). Mesonotum covered with numerous prominent and composite spines; central portion in ΨΨconvex and usually armed with a prominent cluster of spines. Metathorax rectangular and slightly constricted medially. Metanotum about as wide as long (ΨΨ) to slightly longer than wide (ɗɗ) and armed with several prominent spines. Meso- and metapleurae with a longitudinal row of spine-like tubercles and each with a distinct, composite supracoxal spine. Sterna sparsely granulose or tuberculose. Abdomen including median segment longer than combined length of head and complete thorax. Median segment less than half the length of metanotum, quadrate to wider than long and spinose. Abdominal segments IIVII of ɗɗof uniform width and longer than wide; of ΨΨquadrate or wider than long and ± decidedly gradually narrowing towards the posterior with II or III the vwidest segments. Posterior margin of tergites IIIX each with ± prominent paired spines (ɗɗ), composite spines or dentate, crest-like structures (ΨΨ). Posterolateral angles of tergites IIIX with a ± distinct triangular tooth (ΨΨ) or foliaceous, dentate lobes (ΨΨ). Sternites tuberculose and with a ± distinct posterior pair of spines. ΨΨwith a distinct praeopercular organ on sternite VII formed by a prominently raised, ± semi-circular posteromedian lobe. Anal segment of ɗɗslightly tectiform, laterally compressed, split and consisting of two semi-tergites. Apices of semi-tergites ± elongated and dentate interiorly. Cerci small, rather elongate, dorsoventrally flattened and carinate. Vomer of ɗɗstrongly reduced. Poculum of ɗɗsmall and distinctly cup-like, subgenital plate of ΨΨvery prominently keeled and boat-shaped, with the longitudinal median keel conspicuously, roundly elevated medially; apex acute and slightly projecting over posterior margin of anal segment. Legs very long and moderately slender; profemora about as long as pro- and mesonotum combined; mesofemoa a little longer then mesothorax and hind legs projecting considerably beyond apex of abdomen. Profemora very weakly compressed basally, not conspicuously curved. All femora and tibiae trapezoidal in crosssection; femora considerably broader than corresponding tibiae. Medioventral carina of femora distinct and midways on ventral surface of femur, unarmed. Coxae dentate. Basitarsi elongate, about as long as following three tarsomeres combined; all unarmed.
