Description. Holotype Male. Thorax . Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly slightly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 19E ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally concave, posteriorly straight, posterolaterally with blunt pit forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 19E ). Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 20 ). Left stridulatory file with slightly curved basal half and straight apical half; Initial teeth basal and apical minor ( Fig. 21A ). Total file length of 2.6 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and total of 48 teeth. Right stridulatory with curved basal half and straight apical half; basal teeth smaller and more distant from each other ( Fig. 21B ). Total length file of 2.2 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. 19H ). Abdomen . Cercus slightly curved inwards, with slender apical half ( Figs. 19I–K ). Apex of cercus with bilobed projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 19K ). Apex bifurcated between the base of the stylus, with concave recess ( Fig. 19I ). Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 19I ). Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 22A–D ). Upper folds of ventral lobe slightly acuminated, with a blunt apex and not exceeding the total length of the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 22A–B ). Titillator sclerite absent. Titillator process trapezoidal ( Figs. 22A–D ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, asymmetrical, with the posterior region with several lateral and median recesses forming smaller lobes ( Figs. 22A–B ). Dorsal lobes curved, wide and with a rounded posterior portion ( Figs. 22A–D ). Dorsal folds elongated and asymmetrical ( Figs. 22C–D ). Coloration . Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 24A ). General color of the body light green with asymmetric patches dark green. Eyes dark green with white spots. Abdomen light green with small yellow circular spots; ventrally whitish. Apical half of the tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with yellow edges. Female: Morphologically similar to the male, except by the following characteristics ( Figs. 23A–K ): Thorax . Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 23E ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 23E ). Wings . Unaltered anal veins for sound production ( Fig. 23A ). Abdomen . Cercus slightly curved, apex acuminate ( Figs. 23H–J ). Subgenital plate triangular, apex rounded and stylus absent ( Fig. 23H ). Ovipositor curved; apex of ventral valve surpassing the apex of dorsal valve; ovipositor without teeth ( Fig. 23 ). Coloration . Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 24B ). General color of the body whitish green with asymmetric patches dark green. Purple eyes.
