Description. Medium size (body length 18 mm ). Coloration. The only known species is ocher in color, with the posterior margins of the tergites outlined in brown; from the eighth tergite onwards, they are entirely dark brown ( Figs. 8A–D ). Head. Space between antennal sockets 1.5 times wider than the antennal scape; ocelli rounded, small, and diffuse ( Fig. 8C ); maxillary palps elongated, third and fourth segment similar in size, fifth segment a little longer than the previous ones and slightly dilated at the apex; labial palpi robust, the last segment noticeably dilated and with rounded apex ( Fig. 8A ). Thorax. Pronotum narrow and smooth, with quadrangular disc, anterior margin rounded, posterior margin convex in the middle ( Fig. 8B ); lateral lobes rectangular, wider than high, with v-sulcation decided; auditory spiracle below the lower margin of the lateral lobe of the pronotum armed with a conical fold, attached on the mesothorax ( Fig. 8A ). Sternum lobes are rounded and narrow, without prolongations; mesosternum quadrangular with the anterior margin 1.5 wider than the posterior one; metasternum triangular and narrow. Legs. Fore coxa armed with a spine dorsally. Fore and mid femora unarmed; fore and middle tibiae with four medium-size spurs on each ventral margin and one spur on each side of the ventral-apex; hind femur robust, ventrally armed; hind tibia armed with small spines dorsally only, apex with three spurs on each side, being the upper and mid one the longer and similar in length ( Fig. 8A ). Wings. Absent, but with a tiny acute finger projection on lateral margins of meso- and metanotum. Abdomen. Stridulatory apparatus present on the sides of first and second tergites. Ninth tergite slightly produced posteriorly; tenth tergite mostly covered by the ninth tergite, with a median furrow, divided the tergite in two plates with a small denticulation on inner posterior edge of each plate. Cerci almost cylindrical, short, and unmodified. Paraprocts unmodified ( Fig. 8D ). Subgenital plate with a large, simple, straight cylindrical socketed style on each side, posterior margin produced in a plate almost as long as stylli with apex rounded ( Figs. 8D, F ). Female.
