Measurements of males . Body length: 29.8±2.5; pronotum length: 6.6±0.2; pronotum height: 6.4±0.2; hind femur: 28.1±1.1; hind tibiae: 33.2±1.5; tegmina: 44.2±1.6; tegmina width: 9.0±0.3; tegmina length/width: 4.9–5.0; tegmina width/pronotum length: 1.3–1.5. Characters . A . simplicinervis is a medium-sized species (body length ♂ 28–31 mm , ♀ 36–39 mm ). Karsch (1889) described both sexes from Chinchoxo and Kuako (Kimpoko, Cameroon ). Later, Griffini (1906) recorded it from Fernando Póo ( Equatorial Guinea ). It is characterized by whitish-yellowish paranota and more or less rectangular tegmina with thick veinlets ( Fig. 14 ). The metanotum is slightly dark and also the tympana of fore tibiae may be dark. The types and other specimens have two dark spots on the lateral sides of the pronotum. A small black spot is present on the base of the tegmina, more or less hidden by the pronotum. Some specimens have an additional second small black spot in that area. Fore femora are armed with 3–7 spines, mid femora have 4–7 outer spines, hind femora 4–7 inner and 0–7 outer ventral small black-tipped spines [according to Karsch (1889) outer ventral margin of hind femora is unarmed, but in some specimens spines are present]. The stridulatory file is short and consists of 48–50 teeth ( Fig. 53 ). Male cerci are long, comparatively slender, in-curved at their tips and slightly flattened, apically with or without a black swelling and with 2 black small dents ( Fig. 82 ) ( Karsch 1889 ; Brunner von Wattenwyl 1891). Styli are absent. The ovipositor is shorter than the pronotum.
