24) Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) compressa Jin sp. n.

Holotype ♂ (right hind leg lost): MALAYA: SE Pahang / Taman, 5m. / 18.IX.1960; Light Trap / J.L. Gressitt

Paratype ♀ (left front leg lost, right front and middle legs broken): labeled as Holotype

Diagnosis. General morphology typical of the genus. Male last tergite forming a single (unpaired) middle process, nearly asymmetry, apical with a laterally compressed half-round lobe (Fig. 10d); cerci long lobe strongly bent inward, complicated, slightly asymmetry, with long branch lobes (Fig. 10 c–e), subgenital plate short with relatively long styli (Fig. 10d, e), genitalia not dissected.

Female 9 th tergite with less enlarged lateral postal margin; posterior margin of subgenital plate elongated with ellipse margin (Fig. 10f), ovipositor sword shape, long and nearly straight, ventral valve smooth, without apical hook (Fig. 10g).

Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 10.1, ♀ 10.2–12.0; Pronotum: ♂ 3.6, ♀ 3.5–4.0; Tegmina: ♂ 11.5, ♀ 19.0–21.1; Hind femora: ♂ 9.7, ♀ 11.0–12.2; Ovipositor: 8.2–9.1.

Comparison. This species is close to X. (X.) tembelingi Gorochov, 2016 (Figs. 21–26) from Malaysia (Malacca, Pahang) by general morphology of male last tergite and cerci, but the middle process of last tergite with apical lobe laterally compressed, the cerci with longer branch lobe, female subgenital plate elongated with ellipse margin instead of pointed in middle.

Etymology. Species name refers to the shape of middle process of male last tergite with apical lobe laterally compressed.
