Description. Fastigium verticis in front of eyes 1.2 mm , from base 1.8 mm ; dorsal eye length 2.2 mm ; greatest diameter of eye 2.3 mm ; index fastigium verticis from base: eye length 0.8 ( Fig. 37 ). Face rugose; with a facial carina above lateral angles of clypeus ( Fig. 26 ). Tegmen distinctly surpassing hind knees; costal field widened in about basal two thirds, narrow in apical third; between radius and cubitus with parallel and almost evenly spaced transverse veinlets ( Figs. 8 , 18 ). Prosternal spines longer than half the length of the fore coxa, rather thin. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: fore femur 6–9 external, 6 internal; mid femur 6–7 external, 3–4 internal near base; hind femur 10–17 external, 8–11 minute internal in basal area and 0–1 in apical area. Knee lobes of hind femur bi-spinose on external, uni-spinose on internal side (male) or bi-spinose on both sides (female). Male ( Fig. 8 ). Stridulatory file slightly sinuate, 2.8 mm long; teeth at very base rather widely spaced, at apex very dense and indistinct; with 98 teeth or 35.5 teeth per mm, in middle of file with 27.6 teeth per mm ( Fig. 79 ). Mirror narrowing posteriorly; fore margin straight; hind margin oblique; 2.2 mm long, 1.9 mm wide; index length:width 1.1. Tenth abdominal tergite transverse but slightly globular in middle; apical margin roundly excised in middle and roundly projecting on both sides of excision; central and apical area setose ( Fig. 126 ). Epiproct rounded; rather flat but somewhat curved in specimen at hand with a faint median sulcus in basal half ( Fig. 164 ). Projection of paraproct large and wide, rounded ( Fig. 164 ). Cerci very short with internal surface concave and modified: behind base with a short obtuse dorsal and a long, compressed, twisted and in apical half narrow process ( Fig. 218 ); at apex with a compressed and high internal process with broad apex that carries two acute spines; in about half of its length, the process gives rise to a narrow, curved, ventral branch, which carries a tooth behind basal third and has the apex ending into two spines ( Figs. 199 , 252 ). Subgenital plate with styli longer than excised area ( Fig. 289 ). Titillators with basal parts very broad; apical parts with apical margin broadly rounded and lateral margin triangular; surface brown with clinging hairs towards centre and brown granular towards margin; margin hyaline granular ( Figs. 331 , 385 , 420 ). Lateral of apical parts of titillators, phallus membranes brown, irregularly structured. Female ( Fig. 18 ). Subgenital plate with a strong median carina becoming higher towards apex, surface on both sides of carina slightly convex; apical area suddenly raised to level of median carina, apex bilobate ( Figs. 462 , 531, 539 ). Ovipositor strongly curved in basal two thirds only, with nearly parallel margins ( Fig. 545 ). Coloration. Uniformly medium brown. Face, anterior part of genae and mandibles blackish brown to black; clypeus and labrum yellow. Pronotum with or without a brown band between first and second transverse sulcus; second transverse sulcus also darkened. Tegmen brown with network of light veins little conspicuous. Measurements ( 1 male , 1 female ): body male 38, female 39; pronotum male 11, female 10.2; tegmen male 36.5, female 36; hind femur male 21.5, female 23.5; ovipositor 23 mm .
