039487A7AE614E7D188AFC30FD0BFCF3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is characterised by the colour pattern (see below) and the large male genitalia with distinctly-shaped pseudepiphallic lophi and median sclerite. The new species differs from Luzonogryllus (Apterozacla) mindoroensis Gorochov, 2006 from Mindoro Island and Visayas region (see below) by the dorsum of the head having a yellow band along margin of eye but this ring does not extend ventrad towards gena and mouthparts (instead of the ring along margin of eye only present at laterally and extend ventrad towards gena and mouthparts), scapes cream coloured with two black bands at the basal and distal ends (instead of mostly dark brown), white rings on antennae broader, the pronotum mostly black (instead of mostly yellow brown with black patterns), its frons with a ventrad-pointing arrow-shaped stripe (instead of a diamond-shaped yellow patch nearer to mouthparts). It also differs in by male genitalia being larger and distinctly differently shaped. It also differs from Luzonogryllus (Squamizacla) palawanensis Gorochov, 2006 from Palawan and Borneo Islands by the presence of yellow band along margin of its eye not extending ventrad towards gena and mouthparts, frons with a ventrad-pointing arrow-shaped yellow band (instead of a straight vertical yellow band), the absence of wings in males and the shape of the genitalia (most easily differentiated by the shape of pseudepiphallic median sclerite).	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Modina, Ris Menoel R., Alo, Joanna Rose A., Haibil, Helen H., Mapi-Ot, Emmarie F., Macas, Jessie Jay P., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Yap, Sheryl A., Damit, Dayang Fazrinah Binti Awg, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

039487A7AE614E7D188AFC30FD0BFCF3.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named after the fictional sky bison, Appa, from the ‘ Avatar The Last Airbender’ animated series. This is due to the resemblance of having a ventrad-pointing arrow-shaped stripe on their frons, pubescent and stripped body; noun in apposition.	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Modina, Ris Menoel R., Alo, Joanna Rose A., Haibil, Helen H., Mapi-Ot, Emmarie F., Macas, Jessie Jay P., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Yap, Sheryl A., Damit, Dayang Fazrinah Binti Awg, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

Head dorsum finely pubescent, mostly black, sometimes with faint yellow longitudinal stripes; with yellow band along margin of eye (Figs 3 A – C). Fastigium with two rows of setae, scapes twice as wide as fastigium (Figs 3 A – C). Scapes black basally, with median cream-coloured ring, distally black (Figs 3 D, 3 E). Antennae mostly black with white rings of relative regular intervals, rings basal of antennae narrower (Fig. 2). Eyes in dorsal view rounded, protruding anteriorly (Figs 3 A – C) and in profile view higher taller than long (Figs 3 D, 3 E). Median ocellus rounded, grey (Figs 3 D, 3 E); lateral ocelli rounded, located close to one another between hind of scapes (Figs 3 B, 3 C). Face in anterior view flat, shiny and oblong, ca. 1.1 times higher than wide; with medial yellow band running down from median ocellus to labrum, appearing like arrow pointing ventrad (Fig. 3 D).

Anal plate trapezoidal, transverse, basal half with yellow or cream-coloured patch, apical margin broadly rounded (Fig. 4 A). Subgenital plate typical of genus. Male genitalia (Fig. 5) stout, distinctly larger than congeners. Pseudepiphallic median sclerite obliquely situated; at middle forming two oblique triangular apical lobules with acute apices, narrowly emarginated between these apical lobules. Pseudepiphallic lophi long, somewhat separated into two parts: basal part surpassing apex of pseudepiphallic median sclerite in lateral view elongated triangular with obtuse apex, in dorsal view external of apical part; apical part strongly sclerotized, more slender and elongated, in dorsal view lamellar slightly curved medially, with inner margin undulated, apex very slender and subacute, in lateral view at apex slightly bent ventrad. Pseudepiphallic parameres oblong, inner margin very straight, elongated, surpassing pseudepiphallic median sclerite and basal part of pseudepiphallic lophi but not apical part of pseudepiphallic lophi; at apex in dorsal view narrow and obtuse, in lateral view somewhat triangularly acute. Ectophallic apodeme robust and stout, in ventral view, at posterior end forked into two stout and broad arms, anterior end forming less sclerotized broadly oval plate. Ectophallic fold very small. Endophallic sclerite small, shaft like. Female. Not different from male, also apterous. Frons with arrow-shaped yellow vertical stripe less pronounced than in males, instead with pyriform yellow spot at middle of frons and vertical yellow stripe between antennal sockets (very finely connected) (Fig. 3 E). Anal plate not different from male, basal half with two yellow or cream-coloured lateral spots (instead of transverse band in males). Ovipositor typical of genus, relatively long; at apex with ventral valves slender and distinctly surpassing dorsal valves; dorsal and ventral valves with margins generally smooth without denticles, with apices acute (Figs 4 B, 4 C). Measurements.

039487A7AE684E77188AFD6FFE16FC2F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A female collected from Mindanao allowed us to compare with the redescription by Gorochov (1996) (Figs 10 A – E). Our female specimen has outer tympanum small and oval and inner tympanum elongated and larger (Figs 10 A, B), very similar to that in Gorochov (1996). The apical part of ovipositor is laterally widened; lateral margin of dorsal valve and lower margin of ventral valve each with around five medium-sized rounded teeth (Figs 10 C, 10 D); but these teeth appear considerably more laterally protruding and separated than that illustrated in Gorochov (1996). Males were collected from the same site in Mindanao and in Negros Oriental, and they are not different from the male from Agusan del Sur (Tan et al., 2023), especially in the male genitalia (Figs 10 F – K). The male genitalia of Strophiola lugubrina from Mindanao and Negros Islands are very similar to that of Strophiola tangkoko Gorochov, 2011 from northern Sulawesi by the shape of ectophallic fold (somewhat asymmetrical with the right lobe unnotched and left lobe notched) and endophallic sclerite (with two short and wide proximal, and two longer and narrower distal projections). It is possible that the specimens from Mindanao and Negros Islands are Strophiola tangkoko instead, or that Strophiola tangkoko and Strophiola lugubrina belong to the same species. Since it is not possible to ascertain the locality of the female holotype of Strophiola lugubrina (other than that it is from the Philippines), we cannot confirm these propositions. We consider here the specimens from Mindanao and Negros Islands as Strophiola lugubrina simply based on the type locality of this species, as well as to avoid adding a new locality record for Strophiola tangkoko when the identity is not verified.
