Fig. 11

Description. Female. Body large. Face with fine transverse riffles. Lateral ocelli large, nearly occupying all the lateral margins of rostral tubercles; median ocellus smaller than lateral ocelli, oval, situated under antennal sockets (Fig. 11A–B). Apical segment of maxillary palpi nearly equal to subapical segment, apices slightly inflated. Anterior margin of pronotum almost straight, posterior margin widely rounded (Fig. 11B); lateral lobes longer than high, anterior angle widely rounded, posterior angle rounded (Fig. 11C). Fore coxae obviously inflated, with 1 spine; femora with 1 short ventral spine on internal margin; tibiae with 1 internal and 2 external spines ventrally, apices with 1 pair of spines on ventral surface. Apices of middle femora with 1 pair of spines on ventral surface; tibiae dorsally with 2 pairs of spines, ventral surface with 2 external spines, apices with 1 pair of spines on dorsal and ventral surfaces separately. Hind tibiae dorsally with 18–20 pairs of spines and 1 pair of small subapical spines, apices with 1 pair of dorsal and 2 pairs of ventral spines; basitarsi with 3–5 spines and 1 apical spine on dorsal surface along the midline (Fig. 11G). Tenth abdominal tergite with median concavity on posterior margin (Fig. 11D). Epiproct lingulate with longitudinal furrow on dorsal surface (Fig. 11D). Cerci slender. Subgenital plate longer than wide, the lateral margins narrowing, the middle of lateral margins faintly constricted, the apical half spine-shaped, apices acute (Fig. 11F). Ovipositor shorter than hind femora, moderately upcurved, dorsal margins smooth, apices acute; apical quarter of ventral margins with indistinct small teeth (Fig. 11E).

Coloration. Body black brown. Ocelli pale.

Measurement (mm). BL: ♀ 21.1; PL: ♀ 7.6; FFL: ♀ 8.3; MFL: ♀ 8.4; HFL: ♀ 19.4; HBL: ♀ 4.8; OvL: 12.8.

Material examined. Holotype: female, Mohan, Mengla, Yunnan, August 1, 2019, coll. by Mingyin Guo.

Distribution. Yunnan (Mengla).

Discussion. The new species differs from Rhaphidophora incilis Bian, Zhu & Shi, 2017 in the lateral margins of female subgenital plate narrowing to apex and faintly constricted (Fig. 11F).

Etymology. Named after the type locality; noun in apposition.
