Diagnosis
This female is similar to that of Z. wittoto , Z. guianensis , and Z. nouragi by the ‘zebra’ pattern on the hind legs ( Figs 10A–B View Fig , 11J–K View Fig ). The fore and mid legs have only a few whitish areas on the base of the femora and dorsal surface of the tibia ( Fig. 11E–F, H–I View Fig ). The tympanum is widely open on the outer face proximal portion of the fore tibia ( Fig. 11E, G View Fig ). However, it differs from the species mentioned above in the longer tegmina, reaching up to the second abdominal tergite ( Fig. 10C–D View Fig ), which is more similar to Z. nauta . The first two segments of maxillary palpi are small and subequal in length; the third and fourth are as long as the first and second together; the fifth is longer than any other segment, with the ventral margin slightly arched and the medio-distal portion obliquely truncated, dorsal margin straight and the apex rounded. The only whitish area of the maxillary palpi is the ventral surface of the mediodistal portion; the remaining is dark ( Fig. 11D View Fig ). The abdomen is mostly black but has whitish bands on the anterior and posterior margins of each tergite ( Fig. 10A–B View Fig ). The supra-anal plate is subtriangular, with a distal margin rounded ( Fig. 10E View Fig ). The subgenital plate is similar to that of Z. nouragi , with the posterior margin sinuous in lateral view and concave in ventral view ( Fig. 10F–G View Fig ). The ovipositor is straight and very short, shorter than the hind tibia, with a triangular apex ( Fig. 10A–B, 10H–I View Fig ), similar to Z. guianensis . The copulatory papilla is quite unique, with an ovoid shape, laterally sinuous, and a more membranous dorsal portion ( Fig. 11A–B View Fig ).
