(figs. 1E, 2B): Second (first visible) labial segment slender, elongate, reaching anterior margin of eye, with pair of stout suberect spines at midpoint, third (second visible) labial segment swollen, about half as long as second segment, with stout, suberect spines at midpoint, fourth (third visible) segment slender, about as long as third, tapering.

Scutellum with broad base and triangular apex, tapering into very long erect spine (fig. 2E). Metanotum very long, about twice as long as visible part of mesonotum, anteriorly with triangular area smooth, remainder of segment with strong transverse ridges; rather short, suberect median spine in posterior third (fig. 2E). Proepimeron posteriorly tubular (fig. 2G); with stout, posteriad directed setae at posterior margin (fig. 2F). Mesepisternum large, with dorsoventral ridges, mesepimeron narrow, posterior margin with ridge with swelling dorsal to coxal cavity (fig. 2G). Metepisternum very large, anterior lobe forming part of mesocoxal cavity obsolete; metepimeron obsolete (fig. 2G). Prosternum with prosternal process elevated, apex pointed (figs. 1D, 2F); lateral margin of prosternum with one anteriad directed spine (fig. 2B). Stridulitrum with transverse cuticular ridges present, narrow. Mesosternum slightly longer than prosternum, with weak median, longitudinal ridge (fig. 1D). Metasternum slightly longer than mesosternum, with weak median, longitudinal ridge, furcal pits small, distinctly removed from anterior margin of metacoxal cavity (fig. 1D).

(figs. 1A, B, 2B, 3A–D): slender, fore leg distinctly stouter and shorter than mid and hind leg, tarsi with three tarsomeres, first and second tarsomeres tubular, of similar length and diameter, third tarsomere distinctly dilated laterally (fig. 3B), relatively short and with scopula consisting of distally extended setae, i.e., tenent setae, on ventral surface (figs. 3C, D), claws slender, curved, oriented in right angle relative to third tarsomere, with basal swelling, parempodia setiform (fig. 3C); fore leg with elongate coxa with one spine on anterior surface, three or four spines on posterior surface (figs. 1B, 2B), trochanter triangular, ventral surface with three or four spines (fig. 1B), femur slightly curved, relatively stout, with two rows of spines on medial surface, dorsal row consisting of six spines, ventral row of five or six spines (figs. 2B, 3A), tibia slightly curved, apically slightly expanded, with row of stiff setae and row of short thornlike setae on medial surface (figs. 2B, 3A); mid and hind leg with coxae ovoid, trochanters triangular, femora and tibiae relatively long and slender. Fossula spongiosa and metacoxal comb absent. Abdomen (figs. 1F–H, 4A, B): elongate ovoid, lateral margins smooth, dorsal laterotergites distinct, ventral laterotergites narrow; first spiracle on first/second syntergite, second to seventh spiracle small, circular, on mediosternites (figs. 1H, 4B), eighth spiracle on distinct sclerite (fig. 4D). GENITALIA (female only) (figs. 4C, D, 5A– E): first valvifer broad and short, posterior margin rounded (figs. 5B, C); first valvula triangular, covered by third valvula in posterior view (fig. 5A); second valvula with membranous, median lobes with long median appendages (figs. 5D, E); third valvulae consisting of unpaired, flattened cone-shaped sclerite (figs. 4D, 5A, B, D, E); ninth tergite and (probably) tenth covering third valvula in part and forming apex of terminalia (figs. 4D, 5).

In spite of the somewhat unfavourable circumstances (only female specimens, apterous), the armature of the fore leg appears to be unique among Saicinae. This fact together with other characters listed in the diagnosis support our decision to describe this taxon as a new species, which we place in a new genus. Sexual dimorphism of legs seems to be limited in other genera of Saicinae. We therefore postulate that the fore leg armature we describe here for the female will in principle correspond to the one in the males that might be collected in the future.</paragraph>
