Description. Male ―Body coloration mostly brown. Head: oval in frontal view, the dorsum covered by short to median bristles; three ocelli present, forming a triangle above the insertion of the antennae; vertex covered by bristles until the insertion of the middle ocellus; scape very large; flagellum pilose, except for the base of first article. Maxillary palpi as long as head height. Thorax : pronotum slightly broader than head in dorsal view, anterior and posterior margins densely covered by large bristles, which extend to the laterals, inferior margin of lateral lobes slightly concave; fore wings extending to abdominal tergites 5–6, mirror present, bearing a tiny dividing vein on posterior left corner (Figs. 06A, 09A), stridulatory vein with ca. 90 teeth, apical field short but with a row of large cells, chordal area with four veins, lateral field with 4 parallel longitudinal veins. Hind wings vestigial, very small. Legs: fore tibiae with auditory tympanum on inner face only, 1 apical spur; middle tibiae with 3 apical spurs; hind tibiae: with four internal dorsal spurs being the superior one glandular (as in all Pteronemobiini ) and the inferior one bearing a large ventral gland (as in Amanayara ), and four external spurs; three apical spurs present on either side, the superior the longest on internal face (median and superior with a fringe of bristles, Fig. 07F). Phallic Complex: pseudepiphallus elongate, its lateral margins sinuose; proximal dorsal margin shaped as an open “V” with narrow vertex, and concave sides; distal dorsal margin as a broad invagination with acute, but shallow, vertex and concave sides; distal portion with a pair of elongate, finger-shaped projections; pseudepiphallic parameres undeveloped; ectophallic apodemes long, nearly straight rods without a noticeable arc; endophallic sclerite with median element partially surrounded by a pair of lateral ones. Female ―Similar to male, with the following exceptions: fore wings shorter, longitudinal veins connected to one another by transversal veinlets; ovipositor short, the apical valves with conspicuous teeth dorsally.
