Description. Male. Body large for the genus. Head somewhat large, occiput broad and pubescent, vertex bearing fine and short setae. Median ocellus large and shaped as lunule. Antennal scape shaped as round shield. Genae slightly convex. Labrum apical margin broadly concave. Terminal maxillary palpus bevelled apically, almost equal to length of 3rd palpus; terminal labial palpus rod-like, almost equal to total length of remaining palpi. Pronotum trapezoidal, disc flattened and broad, anterior margin weakly concave, posterior margin slightly convex ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Harp area bearing 5 harp veins. False veins distributed in harp field and mirror. Forewing dorsum broad ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Apical field of elytra armed with 7 branches ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Exposed part of hind wings slightly shorter than hind tarsus ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). External tympanum large and shaped as elongate-ovoid. Hind tarsus armed with dorsal spines, numbered 9:9 for inner and outer.
Metanotal gland armed with transverse and sinuate convexity anteriorly, rather large and shallow concavity medially, almost flattened part (ornamented with short hairs) posteriorly, and two protuberance in both sides ( Fig. 3C View FIGURE 3 ). Anal plate tongue-shaped, rather small, half of basal sides ridged ( Fig. 3D View FIGURE 3 ).
Male genitalia ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 E–3G). In lateral view, epiphallic apex slightly expanded, angled at distal margin and armed with small denticles ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ); in dorsal view, epiphallic apex possessing obtuse angle at inner margin and outside widely concave ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ).
Female. Similar to male ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ). Ovipositor very longer than hind tibia; its apex of rather acute and episternites blunt ( Figs. 13B View FIGURE 13 , 14B View FIGURE 14 ).
Coloration. Body colored yellowish brown. Head colored brown. Top margin of eyes, lateral margin of frons and face colored light. Hind wings and apical field of forewing brown ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ).
Measurements. Male (n=12). BL 17.68±1.87, HW 3.66±0.29, PL 2.63±0.40, PW 4.44±0.32, FWL 16.56±1.74, HWL 4.60±0.61, DVL 4.42±0.60, ML 3.87±0.49, HFL 10.06±0.83, HTL 7.96±0.62, HML 4.27±0.40. Female (n=3). BL 17.62±1.03, HW 3.15±0.33, PL 2.20±0.26, PW 3.82±0.29, FWL 14.07±0.96, HFL 8.98±0.64, HTL 6.56±0.41, HML 4.17±0.30, OL 11.72±1.09.
