Male. Body small, robust. Head. Fastigium verticis conical, apex rounded, with a thin median sulcus. Eyes globular, distinctly protruding forwards (Fig. 1A–B). Apical segment of maxillary palpus slightly longer than subapical one, apex swollen.</p><p>Thorax. Pronotum markedly prolonged posteriorly, reaching middle area of 7th abdominal tergite; anterior margin straight, posterior margin obtusely rounded; metazona distinctly raised and expanded outward; lateral lobe longer than high, markedly expanded, humeral sinus absent (Fig. 1A–B).</p><p>Tegmina and wings. Tegmina short, completely covered by pronotum, invisible in lateral view; hind wings absent (Fig. 1B).</p><p>Legs. All femora without spines on ventral surfaces; apices of genicular lobes obtusely rounded. Fore coxa with one short spine; fore tibial tympana open on both sides; fore tibia with 4 long spines on inner ventral margin and 4 long spines on outer ventral margin. Middle tibia with 3 long spines on inner ventral margin and 5 long spines on outer ventral margin. Hind tibia with 18–21 short spines on inner and outer margins of dorsal surface, bearing 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs and 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs.</p><p>Abdomen. Lateral surfaces of 9th abdominal tergite protruding backward (Fig. 1G). Posterior area of 10th abdominal tergite with a pair of broad and depressed lateral lobes, widely separated by a deep V-shaped notch; apices rounded (Fig. 1D–E). Cercus moderately elongate; base stout, then laterally compressed, with a shallow longitudinal sulcus along inner surface; dorsal margin near mid-part bearing a narrow lamellate projection; distal half distinctly incurved, gradually Tapering, apex rounded (Fig. 1D–E). Genitalia sclerotized, slightly surpassing posterior margin of subgenital plate; base broad, middle area slightly constricted inward; subapical area bent dorsad; near apex with a pair of conical processes on lateral areas, apices bluntly rounded; apex bluntly rounded (Fig. 1F–G). Subgenital plate rectangular, with a median carina; basal margin straight, basal area slightly broadened; posterior margin with a shallow triangular concavity; styli short, inserted on lateral margins of apical area (Fig. 1C).</p><p>Coloration. Body green when alive. Eyes light brown. Prozona of pronotum bears a pair of longitudinal blackishbrown stripes, each with a longitudinal yellow stripe along its outer margin; stripes becoming paler on metazona (Fig. 1A–B). Apices of spines on hind tibiae blackish brown. Apices of all third tarsomeres and claws brown. Genitalia blackish brown near the middle area of proximal part (Fig. 1F).</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>Material examined. Holotype: ♂, Houhe, Wufeng, Hubei, 18 July, 2023, coll. Yueting Duan. Paratypes: 1♂, Houhe, Wufeng, Hubei, 17 July, 2023, coll. Mengjia Zheng ; 1♂, Houhe, Wufeng, Hubei, 18 July, 2023, coll. Mengjia Zheng. Other specimens: 3♂, Houhe, Wufeng, Hubei, 18 July, 2023, coll. Yueting Duan.</p><p>Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 10.2–10.6; pronotum: ♂ 7.1–7.4; hind femur: ♂ 8.4–8.8.</p><p>Distribution. China (Hubei).</p><p>Discussion. This new species resembles Sinocyrtaspis megalobia Wang, Xin &amp; Shi, 2020, but differs from the latter mainly in: male 10th abdominal tergite prolonged posteriorly, forming a pair of broad and depressed lateral lobes, widely separated by a deep V-shaped incision, apices obtusely rounded (Fig. 1E); cerci compressed, surpassing posterior margins of subgenital plate and genitalia, with narrow lamellate processes near middle area on dorsal surface (Fig. 1D–E).</p><p>Etymology. The name of the new species refers to Hubei, China, the type locality.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/512EE66C054DFF94FF0EF8AAFB87988E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
