Description. Medium large species ( Fig. 11A ). Head: Face long ovoid; fastigium verticis about as wide as scapus; ocelli of light yellowish; fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a faint suture; subocular furrows only indicated above bases of mandibles ( Fig. 12K ). Abdominal tergites two and three with minute stridulatory pegs (0, 0–3; 4–5; 7–9; n = 2 females ). Wings surpassing hind knees and reaching about middle of stretched hind tibiae. Tegmen widest in mid length ( Fig. 1D ): Radius with two branches, both forked near tip; media anterior fused in basal area with radius; media posterior absent; cubitus anterior forks between basal third and mid-length into two veins, CuA1 and CuA2; cubitus posterior undivided, free throughout; with 4 anal veins. Legs: Fore coxa with a large spine at fore margin; fore and mid femora unarmed; fore and mid tibiae with four pairs of large ventral spines and one pair of ventral spurs; hind femur with 8–12 external and 8–12 internal spines on ventral margins; hind tibia with spaced spines on both dorsal margins, ventral margins with one pre-apical spine each; with 3 apical spurs on both sides. Coloration. General color light brown (originally conserved in alcohol); vertex unicolored; disc of pronotum with indistinct pattern, rim at hind margin black. Legs of general color. Face medium dark brown, center of frons somewhat lighter than towards vertex; clypeus light yellow but basal area brown and tip black; labrum and tip of mandibles black. Tegmen yellowish transparent, veins only in basal half dark brown; hind wing along anterior margin yellowish transparent, otherwise brownish transparent, main veins little darkened towards base; cross veins blackish brown bordered by a narrow brown band on both sides. Male. Terminal tergite with a single rectangular process pointing ventrad ( Karny 1930a ). Female. Seventh abdominal sternite little wider than preceding sternites and swollen in middle; otherwise normal ( Fig. 16L ). Subgenital plate rather long; wide at base with strongly converging lateral margins, constricted behind basal third, afterwards with convex lateral margins, apex slightly bi-lobate; surface in apical third with a pair of ovoid swellings separated by a furrow in midline; center of subgenital plate depressed and provided with a narrow projection with a pinhead like tip; projection at base covered by soft lobe with stiffened rim that is suddenly widened towards and fuses with the lateral margins of the subgenital plate ( Figs. 16 L–M). Base of ovipositor with a small elongate sclerite near base of ventral valves. Ovipositor elongate but curved throughout, with faintly approaching margins; dorsal margin with a slight pre-apical expansion ( Fig. 17I ). Measurements ( 2 females ).—body w/wings: 46–49; body w/o wings: 30–34; pronotum: 7.0–7.2; tegmen: 34– 35; hind femur: 19.5–23.0; tegmen width: 12–13; antenna: 145; ovipositor: 26–27 mm .
