Diagnosis. Tegmina with an pentagonal cell present between veins MP and CuA ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Cercus apex acute, with spine rounded ( Fig. 10K View FIGURE 10 ). Lateral lobes of mesosternum anteriorly parallel, posteriorly curved outwards, with rounded apex ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ).

Description. Male.

Head. Smooth Fastigium elongated, anteriorly bilobed in dorsal view ( Fig. 10C View FIGURE 10 ). Vertex triangular, with superior portion bilobed, with large, rounded parallel lobes in frontal ( Fig. 10B View FIGURE 10 ).

Thorax. Dorsal disc of pronotum rugose ( Figs. 10 View FIGURE 10 C–D). Dorsolateral and furcal sutures conspicuously marked and depressed ( Fig. 10C View FIGURE 10 ). Lateral lobes of mesosternum with apex rounded ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ). Metasternum diamond shaped ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ). Lateral lobes of metasternum rectangular with rounded apex ( Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 ).

Wings. A pentagonal cell present between veins MP and CuA ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Vein CuA with four branches with bifurcations at apex ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Left stridulatory with basal teeth short, gradually increasing in length towards median region ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ). Median teeth slender, close to each other. Left stridulatory file with 83 teeth, length of 3.4 mm and greatest width of the vein of 0.5 mm ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ). Right stridulatory sinuous, with convex base, median region nearly straight, distally concave ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ). Basal and distal teeth short, widened. Median teeth slender, close to each other ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ). Right stridulatory file with 81 teeth, length of 3.1 mm and greatest width of the vein of 0.1 mm ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ).
