Head: Face oval; nearly smooth; fastigium verticis wider than scapus; ocelli little distinct; fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a very fine suture; subocular furrows weak ( Fig. 39G ). Abdominal tergites two and three each with two rows of stridulatory pegs. Apterous, without traces of wings. Legs: Fore coxa with a spine at fore margin; fore and mid femora unarmed; fore and mid tibiae with four pairs of large ventral spines and one pair of smaller ventral spurs; on mid tibia the basal pair small, sometimes missing on one side; hind femur with 2–4 external and 7–8 internal spines on ventral margins; on internal margin the apical 3–4 spines are very large and thick, one is of medium size, the remainder small of normal size ( Fig. 39D ); hind tibia curved, in male more than in female ( Figs. 39 A–C); with very small spaced spines on both dorsal margins, ventral margins without pre-apical spine; with 3 apical spurs on both sides. Coloration. General color brown with black marks; vertex with a large semicircular spot at hind margin varying from completely black to reduced to two narrow strokes; fastigium verticis with 2 black spots; pronotum with ventral margins of paranota black and disc with a black medial band of varying extension but always including a pair of small round light spots followed by a short band-shaped light spot; abdominal tergites with black medial band; legs brown with black band and spots. Face marbled brown and whitish; with black spots on fastigium verticis, internal edge of antennal scrobae, very base of scapus, clypeo-frontal suture, and with black bands below compound eyes; antennae with first two basal segments light brown, flagellum black with spaced light rings; mandibles at base marbled, in middle orange, at tip black; maxillary palpi light brown, last segment with little distinct black ring.
