Description. Male. Body and head large for the genus ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Occiput pubescent, narrow, and convex. Vertex glabrous and smooth. Median ocellus ovoid and lateral ones widened. Antennal scape squared shield-like. Genae slightly curved. Labrum straight distally. Terminal maxillary and labial palpus bevelled apically; terminal maxillary palpus equal to length of 3rd palpus; terminal labial palpus nearly equal to total length of remaining palpi. Pronotal disc flattened and trapezoid, anterior margin slightly concave and posterior margin convex ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Harp area bearing 4–5 veins. Harp field and mirror armed with false veins. Forewing broad and apically rounded ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Apical Field elongate, conspicuously longer than forewing width ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ), possessing 8 branches. Hind wings short and exposed portion as long as hind tarsus ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). External tympanum large and shaped as elongate-oval. Hind tarsus armed with short and small spines, numbered 7: 7 (inner: outer).
Metanotal gland armed with transverse and sinuate convexity anteriorly, large and shallow convexity medially and almost flattened posterior part ( Fig. 9B View FIGURE 9 ). Anal plate almost triangular-like but with apex slightly blunt ( Fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ).
Male genitalia ( Figs. 9 View FIGURE 9 D–9F). Dorsal lobe of basal epiphallus bisinuate, lateral process slightly expanded; median process angle-like ( Figs. 9D View FIGURE 9 ). Lateral margin of epiphallus not sharp ( Figs. 9E View FIGURE 9 ). Epiphallus armed with a row of denticles medially ( Figs. 9E View FIGURE 9 ). In lateral view, epiphallic apex boot-like, acute at both top and bottom, and distal margin arc shaped ( Figs. 9E View FIGURE 9 ).
Coloration. Body color dark brown. Head and pronotal disc almost uniform dark brown ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Large parts of pronotal lateral lobes colored light, only top portion color dark and merged with dorsum.
Measurements (n=5). BL 18.34±1.67, HW 3.45±0.14, PL 2.95±0.36, PW 5.12±0.41, FWL 17.96±0.84, HWL 5.33±0.52, DVL 4.53±0.66, ML 3.91±0.22, HFL 10.61±0.43, HTL 8.45±0.44, HML 4.68±0.31.
Remarks. This species is similar to Itara (Noctitara) pacholatkoi Gorochov, 1997 in ectoparamere, but its epiphallic apex is blunt.
