Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 37E ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight with two convex lateral projection; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 37E ). Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 38 ). Left stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half; teeth large and wide, with basal teeth more distant from each other ( Fig. 39A ). Total file length of 2.8 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and a total of 47 teeth. Right stridulatory with curved basal half and straight apical half ( Fig. 39B ). Total length file of 2.5 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 49 teeth. Legs . Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 37H ). Abdomen . Cercus curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 37I–K ). Apex of cercus with triangular projection and large lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 37K ). Stylus long and rectangular ( Fig. 37I ). Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 40A–D ). Upper folds of ventral lobe small, triangular and not connected ( Figs. 40A–B ). Titillator process large, bilobate and triangular ( Figs. 40A–D ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, posteriorly convex and exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 40A–B ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly straight, laterally and posteriorly convex ( Figs. 40A–D ). Dorsal folds elongated, narrow and with asymmetrical ( Figs. 40C–D ). Coloration . Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 42A ). General color of the body dark green, with light green spots. Eyes dark green with whitish spots. Tegmina with Cu and M veins marginally with small dark green spots; region of Radial branches with several small rounded yellow spots; margins of tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with a narrow yellow band. Abdomen light green with white spots. Female: Morphologically similar to the male, except by the following characteristics ( Figs. 41A–K ): Thorax . Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolateral acuminate tip ( Fig. 41E ).
