Distribution. Known from a fairly broad range of coastal and inland localities ( Map 3 ). Seasonal occurrence. This species has been found in late spring. Song. Unknown. Karyotype. 2n male = ( 30t +Xt), Fig. 22a G , karyotype. Recognition. This species is recognised by the distinctive male cercus ( Figs 6G, I ) and the phallus lacking sclerotised rods at the base ( Fig. 6I, K ). Females have a very elongate ovipositor, much longer than the length of the body.
diagnosis · Plazi
Differential diagnosis. Male. Size small for genus, form slender ( Table 1 ). Antenna slightly longer than length of body, annulate ( Fig. 6C ). Eye ovoid, not especially bulging, positioned very high on head. Fore and middle tibiae with apical 2 pairs of spines on each side greatly reduced in size compared to the others ( Fig. 6A ). Hind femur armed ventrally on internal margin with 3-5 spines, external margin unarmed. Hind tibia armed dorsally with numerous spines, often alternating in lengths; apex armed dorsally with a pair of spurs, the more external of which is positioned subapically, the internal spur less subapical; ventral surface with a few elongate setae, not similar to spines; ventral surface with a pair of apical spurs, not much larger than adjacent spines. Prothorax ( Fig. 6B ) with a pair of slender spines, meso- and metathorax each with a pair of peg-like protuberances. Tegmen short ( Fig. 6H ); stridulatory file on raise swelling or blister. Cercus ( Fig. 6G ) spiniform, curved inwards, when juxtaposed with opposite cercus ovoid in outline; surface of cercus densely clothed with elongate, light brown setae. Abdomen with 10 th tergite not modified; supra-anal plate broadly triangular; paraprocts minute; phallic complex ( Figs 6F, I, K ) with dorsal lobes elongate, apically acute, median or ventral lobes elongate, apically obtuse, no trace of sclerotized rods at base, surface of median lobe minutely shagreened. Subgenital plate broader than long, styles often short, shorter than length of one side of median incision, or slightly longer, variable even on an individual specimen.
