Fastigium verticis shovel-shaped, dorsal surface with a longitudinal sulcus in midline, apex nearly truncate. Eyes globular, protruding forwards. Apical segment of maxillary palpus nearly equal to subapical one, apical area slightly inflated. Thorax. Anterior margin of pronotum straight, posterior margin rounded; lateral lobe longer than high, humeral sinus comparatively distinct. Thoracic auditory spiracle exposed, reniform. Tegmina and wings. Tegmina narrow, surpassing apices of hind femora, apices rounded; hind wings slightly longer than tegmina. Legs. Fore and middle legs damaged. Hind femur unarmed on ventral surface. Internal and external margins of hind tibia with 27 – 31 short spines on dorsal surface respectively, bearing 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Abdomen. Posterior margin of tenth abdominal tergite feebly concave (Fig. 1 D). Cercus long, basal half stout, cylindrical, with a projection on inner surface of middle area; apical half of projection divided into dorsal and ventral branches; dorsal branch conical, apex rounded; ventral branch slightly longer than dorsal one, nearly cylindrical, apical area with fine denticles; apical half of cercus slender, apex rounded (Fig. 1 D – G). Genitalia sclerotized, gradually narrowing toward apical area, apex truncate (Fig. 1 E). Subgenital plate relatively long, basal half broad, lateral margins of apical half curved dorsally, posterior margin rounded. Styli nearly cylindrical and apices rounded, inserted on ventral surface of subapical area of subgenital plate (Fig. 1 E – F). Coloration. Body light yellowish brown (probably green alive). Eyes brown. Disc of pronotum with a pair of longitudinal yellow stripes. Apices of genicular lobes of hind femora black. All spines and spurs of hind tibiae brown. Female. Unknown.

03B0710ACF62D503FF1FD394FD9C0F6D.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The new species is similar to Shoveliteratura pentaloba Lu, Peng & Shi, 2021, but it differs from the latter in male cercus with a projection on inner surface of middle area, its apical half divided into dorsal and ventral branches.	en	Wen, Mingye, Han, Tianshuo, Shi, Fuming (2026): One new species of the genus Shoveliteratura Shi, Bian & Chang, 2011 (Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from Xizang, China.

03B0710ACF62D503FF1FD394FD9C0F6D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from male cercus bearing a projection on inner surface of middle area, its apical half divided into two branches, the Latin bi - means two, the Latin prominens means projecting.	en	Wen, Mingye, Han, Tianshuo, Shi, Fuming (2026): One new species of the genus Shoveliteratura Shi, Bian & Chang, 2011 (Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from Xizang, China.
