Bioacoustics of Paraneanias

Description. Head: Face robust, little wider than pronotum; fastigium verticis much wider than scapus; medium and lateral ocelli small but distinct ( Fig. 98C ). Abdominal tergites two and three each with two rows of stridulatory pegs (5, 4; 9, 10; N = 1; Fig. 98D ). Wings absent ( Fig. 98A ). Legs: Fore coxa with small spine at fore margin; fore and mid femora unarmed; fore and mid tibiae with 3 pairs (on mid tibiae 2 or 3 pairs) of not very large ventral spines and 1 pair of smaller ventral spurs; hind femur with few (3–5) spines in posterior area of both ventral margins; hind tibia with spines on both dorsal margins, ventral margins unarmed, with 3 apical spurs on both sides. Coloration. General color brown. Face medium brown, vertex light brown, genae blackish brown. Pronotum disc anteriorly and in center light brown, hind margin and paranota blackish brown; meso- and metanotum light brown; abdominal tergites blackish brown, getting lighter along midline behind second tergite; legs light brown with some diffuse darker marks; hind femur on external side with blackish striation. Male unknown. Female. Seventh abdominal sternite little wider than long with a small v-shaped excision from base followed by a narrow black carina that reaches to about apical third of sternite, apical margin slightly angularly projecting and from tip of angle with a sclerotised inverse-triangular projection with rounded angles and truncate tip embedded in the intersegmental membrane ( Fig. 98G ). The subgenital plate that follows hardly stiffened, membranous, with disc wider than long, rounded on both sides with broadly convex apical margin ( Figs. 98 E–G). Ovipositor straight but behind base with a bend, nearly twice as long as hind femur; tip narrowly obtuse ( Fig. 98B ). Measurements ( 1 female ).—body w/o wings: 20; pronotum: 4; tegmen: 0; hind femur: 9.5; ovipositor: 15.5 mm .
