Eyes ovoid, slightly protruding forward and outward; ocelli indistinct, oval and small (Fig. 1 A, B ). Thorax . Pronotum broad, anterior margin slightly protruding forward while posterior margin straight (Fig. 1 B, C ). Lateral areas of second and third abdominal tergites each with 2 rows of stridulatory pegs. Tegmina and wings . Wings elongate, surpassing apex of stretched hind tibia. Tegmen: R releases Rs near the middle, both forked near apical area; MA releases MP near the third base; CuA releases CuA 1 and CuA 2 near the third base; MP and CuA 1 shortly fuse near the middle; CuP unbranched, free throughout; with 4 anal veins. Hind-wing slightly longer than tegmen (Fig. 10 A, B ). Legs . Fore coxa with 1 spine at anterior margin. Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces; fore and middle tibiae each with 4 pairs of movable long spines and 1 pair of short apical spurs on ventral surfaces, middle tibia with 1 inner apical spur on dorsal surface. Hind femur with 8–10 inner spines and 7–8 outer spines on ventral surface; hind tibia with 6–7 spines on inner and outer margins on dorsal surface, respectively; while apical area with 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Abdomen . Ninth abdominal tergite moderately protruding posteriorly, with a pair of sclerotised and S-shaped processes (Fig. 1 D, E ). Tenth abdominal tergite with a pair of long posterior processes, their bases cylindrical and apices sclerotised, apical areas distinctly incurved and slightly curved dorsally, depressed, apices truncate, bearing 8–10 fine teeth (Fig. 1 D, G – I ). Cercus long conical, slightly incurved, apex slightly acute (Fig. 1 G ). Subgenital plate short and broad with basal margin arc-shaped, posterior margin slightly concave. Styli cylindrical, apices rounded, inserted on lateral margins of subapical area of subgenital plate (Fig. 1 F ). Female. Unknown. Colouration . Body yellowish-brown. Fastigium verticis and occiput black, inner margin of antennal socket with the edge black, antenna black; face with 3 black spots on lateral areas. Eyes brown. Pronotum with black stripe along entire margin. Tegmina and hind wings transparent, veins dark brown. Spines and spurs on fore and middle tibiae brown; apices of spines and spurs on hind femur and hind tibia brown. Half apical area of male abdomen with tergites black; processes of ninth abdominal tergite with basal half and apices black, processes of tenth abdominal tergite with apical areas brown. Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 26.5; pronotum: ♂ 6.6; tegmen: ♂ 37.1; hind femur: ♂ 16.3.
