Figure 3 Description. Male (new description). Body medium, wingless. Fastigium verticis projecting forward ( Fig. 3A ). Ocelli oval, lateral ocelli almost equally as large as median ocellus. Eyes projecting outwards. Apical segments of maxillary palpi longer than subapical ones, apices slightly swollen. Disc of pronotum smooth without longitudinal carina; lateral lobes longer than high without humeral sinus, ventral margin arched ( Fig. 3B ). Prosternal lobes spine-shaped, basal areas separated, internal margins straight, external margins arched concave, terminating into apices; mesosternal lobes nearly cylindrical with basal areas separated, internal margins almost straight, external margins with basal areas wide, contracted in middle area and terminating into apices; metasternal lobes triangular, basal areas separated, internal margins nearly straight, external margins slightly convex, apices obtuse. Fore coxae swollen with 1 stout spine, middle coxae with 1 small spine. Ventral surfaces of fore and middle femora without spines, genicular lobes of middle femora with 1 internal spine. Dorsal surface of fore tibiae with 1 internal spur and 1 pair of apical spurs, ventral surface with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs, the internal apical one longer than external one; basal areas of tibiae with opened tympana on both sides, the internal one larger than external one ( Fig. 3D ). Dorsal surface of middle tibiae with 3 internal and 2 external spurs, 1 pair of apical spurs, ventral surface with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs. Dorsal surface of hind tibiae with 9–10 pairs of spines, with 1 pair of apical spurs; ventral surface with 0–1 internal and 1–3 external spurs, with 1 pair of subapical spurs, apices with 1 pair of long and 1 pair of short spurs. First to fourth abdominal tergites with faintly stridulatory pegs ( Fig. 3C ). Ninth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of lateral lobes between of which almost straight. Posterior margin of tenth abdominal tergite almost straight, lateral margins with 1 pair of hooks ( Fig. 3F ). Cerci conical, apices acute and upcurved. Paraproctal process shorter than cerci, basal area triangular, lateral margins contracted in basal third area, directing upwards and backwards, apices angular ( Fig. 3F–G ). Subgenital plate widened in basal area; apical half area with subparallel lateral margins that very faintly diverge posteriorly; posterior margin arched in middle; styli cylindrical inserted at apico-lateral angles ( Fig. 3E ). Coloration. Body black brown with brownish spots. Ocelli yellowish. Disc of pronotum black with median yellow band which slightly widened at anterior and posterior margins. Apical areas of femora and all tibiae black brown, external surfaces of hind femora with yellowish brown spots.Abdominal tergites with yellowish longitudinal stripes and spots, sternites and ovipositor brown. Measurements (mm). Male: BL 19.8–20.9, PL 6.0–6.1, HTL 19.8–21.1, HFL 20.3–21.4.
