Figs. 1D–F, 2A–C, 5A–I

Coloration and Morphology. Dark brown to yellowish brown (Fig. 1D–F, 2A–C). Crown with oblique streaks on anterior margin (Fig. 1D, 2A). Pronotum with six yellow longitudinal bands (Fig. 1D, 2A). Scutellum with pair of dark brown spots at anterior margin (Fig. 1D). Legs pale with symmetrically arranged dark spots (Fig. 1F, 2C). Crown median length shorter than breadth between eyes (Fig. 1D, 2A).

Genitalia. Pygofer side longer than wide (Fig. 5A), paired processes of internal pygofer membrane relatively broad and evenly curved ventromesad (Fig. 5G, I). Anal tube with appendages fused for short distance, with distal branches longer than fused section, apex of each branch bifid with 2-3 smaller teeth concentrated on larger medial tooth and lateral tooth without smaller teeth (Fig. 5B–C). Subgenital plates lateral margin moderately convex basally, moderately concave distally, with four macrosetae laterally at proximal half (Fig. 5D). Style apophysis expanded and truncate with sharp lateral projection, surface with numerous denticuli and small setae (Fig. 5D–E). Aedeagal shaft relatively slender, approximately five times longer than maximum width in posterior view, with 3 pairs of teeth arranged asymmetrically; dorsal apodeme well sclerotized and articulated with preatruim (Fig. 5G–H); dorsal connective approximately 1.8 times wider than maximum height (Fig. 5G–H).

Type material: Holotype: ♂, PAKISTAN, Punjab, Murree Hills, 12 July 2016, Coll. Hassan Naveed . Paratypes: 18♂, Jammu & Kashmir, Neelum Valley, 9 June 2016.

Remarks: This species closely resembles J. neelumensis but can be distinguished by the unevenly distributed distal teeth on the anal tube appendage and the much shorter and broader dorsal connective.

Etymology: The species epithet “ truncata ” is based on the truncate style apophysis.
