Figs. (18–32) Description Male: Body slender and large sized; fastigium of vertex conical, elongate and separated from fastigium of frons by a notch with a small ventral tubercle present at the base of fastigium; fastigium 1.5 times as long as broad and its base is 2.2 times as wide as scapus; apex rounded; eyes more or less spherical; tegmina longer than hind wings but not extending beyond the hind wings; apices obtusely rounded; wings surpassing the middle of hind tibia when folded pronotum: dorsal lateral sulcus visible; posterior dorsal margin broadly rounded, anterior margin almost straight; lateral carinae present; lateral lobes of pronotum longer than high with distinct humeral sinus; prosternum bispinose, mesosternal and metasternal lobes more or less triangular; thoracic auditory spiracle large and oval completely covered under the lateral lobe of pronotum; stridulatory file with 58 teeth; stridulatory file straight, long, medially wide and depressed, and relatively narrow on distal end than the proximal end. Legs: genicular lobes of fore femora spineless on both side; genicular lobes of mid femora spines on inner side with a single spine and spineless on outer side; genicular lobes of hind femora with a single spine on both inner and outer side; fore coxae with a long spine; all femora dorsally spineless; fore femora ventrally with 3 small spines on inner margin and spineless on outer margin; mid femora ventrally spineless on inner margin and 3-5 small spines on outer margin; hind femora ventrally with 9-11 small spines on inner margin and 6-7 minute to small spines on outer margin; tympanum on fore tibia conchate, tympanal slits facing forward with a pair of small elongated pits laterally just below the tympanum; fore and mid tibiae dorsally spineless; fore tibiae ventrally with 6 small spines each on inner and outer margin; mid tibiae ventrally with 7-8 small spines each on inner and outer margin; dorsally hind tibiae with12-14 small sized spines each on inner and outer margin; ventrally hind tibiae with 7-8 small spines on inner margin and 10-11 small spines on outer margin; single dorsal pair of spurs and two ventral pairs (outer large and inner being small) of spurs present at the apical region of hind tibiae; male tenth abdominal tergite with two incurved lobes on apical margin and wide triangular excision between them, median carina distinct; supra-anal plate triangular with dorsal basal groove, apex subobtuse; subgenital plate long, both lateral and middle ridges well developed, basal V shaped ridges converge to form a middle fringe; apical margin with wide triangular excision; styles conical and long; cerci thick with two incurved apical teeth, dorsal tooth shorter than ventral.
