Description. Macropterous form. Dimensions. Length M 7.60−7.86, F 7.60−7.70; greatest body width M 1.88; F 2.16. Brachypterous form, length M 7.0, F 6.9; greatest body width M 1.76; F 2.08. Width of head M (all) and F macr, 1.62, F brach 1.56. Color. General body bright white, dark eyes. Pleura, inner margin with a fringe of short and black hair. Abdominal venter black except keel and portions of connexivum, these yellow; abdominal dorsum red with irregular areas of black and black apex. Along median longitudinal axis of head, pronotum, and hemelytra covered with thin, long, transparent setae. Membrane, however, not covered. Male structural characteristics: As viewed from above, outline of head rounded with anterior margin of vertex continuous with that of eyes. Also, vertex slightly indented. Width of head 4.7 times anterior width of vertex (1.62/0.34) and smaller than humeral width of pronotum; synthlipsis 1.8 times anterior width of vertex (0.18/0.34); along median longitudinal axis, head is 2.2 times shorter than that of pronotum; tylus inflated, and with thin, long, transparent setae; labrum’s width twice its length, displaying a tuft of transparent, hair, and a truncate apex; rostral prong ( Fig. 1 ) longer than third rostral segment, with base originating laterally and protruding anteriorly at distal end of third rostral segment, rounded apex. Pronotum tricarinate; lateral margins slightly divergent; posterior margin convex, medially concave; median length 1.3 times its width (1.72/1.3). Scutellum short, pronotum with median length 1.6 times median length of scutellum. Fore femur wide, somewhat thickened basally and slightly thinner apically ( Fig. 2 ); stridulatory area with 17– 20 weak ridges, with apical small and irregular teeth ( Fig. 3 ); dorsal and ventral to stridulatory area with parallel striae visible. Fore tibia with stridulatory comb consisting of approximately 40 teeth ( Fig. 4 ), with 10 long basal teeth, followed by ~30 shorter teeth. Fore and middle legs have dark preapical structure in tarsus II ( Fig. 5 ). Dorsal apex of middle tibia with two rows of four transparent setae ( Fig. 6 ). Male genital claspers normal. Spine from caudo-sinistral margin curved and very narrow 2/3 apically. Female structural characteristics: female has the setae characteristic of the middle tibiae and the preapical structure in tarsus II. Also, hind femur has 25 spines along posterior margin.
