Description:
Female ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE-2 ): Smaller in size. Head obtusely rounded in profile. Antennal scapus more than one and a half times longer than wide. Fastigium of vertex compressed and narrow, dorsally furrowed. Eyes rounded and bulging. Pronotum short, first transverse sulcus sub-interrupted in middle; second transverse sulcus U-shaped; anterior margin coneave; posterior margin bilobate. Paranota longer than high, ventral margin rounded, slightly concave in middle; humeral sinus weak. Brachypterous; tegmina slightly reaching to middle of abdomen, wide at base and narrowing towards rounded apex. Hind wings of almost equal to tegmina. Anterior coxa with a very small tubercle at dorsal margin. Tibial tympana open. Tenth abdominal tergite ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE-2 ) truncated. Supra-anal plate ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE-2 ) rounded. Cerci ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE-2 ) conical, longer than supra-anal plate, almost three times longer than wide, apex obtuse. Ovipositor ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE-2 ) sickle shaped, dorsal margin serrulate in apical half, ventral margin serrulate in apical one third. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE-2 ) triangular, margins diverging posteriorly, apical margin broadly rounded.
Measurements (mm): Length of body: ♂ 13.4±0.7, ♀ 15.4±0.4; length of head: ♂ 1.8±0.1, ♀ 2.2±0.2; length of pronotum: ♂ 3.0±0.08, ♀ 3.1±0.2;length of tegmen: ♂ 5.7±0.4, ♀ 7.2±0.7; length of hind femur: ♂ 15.1±0.1, ♀ 15.2±0.3; length of hind tibia: ♂ 19.3±0.4, ♀ 16.8±1.2; length of ovipositor: ♀ 8.8±0.4.
Coloration: Body yellowish brown with a number of dots. Antennal scapus with one band on dorsal and one band on internal surface, flagellum dark brown. Tegmen darker in upper half with a dark brown dorsal band, lower half lighter in colour.
Distribution ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE-3 ): India: Arunachal Pradesh.
Discussion: Letana mursinga Ingrisch & Shishodia, 2000 is closed to L. braehyptera Ingrisch, 1987 and L. emanueli Ingrisch, 1990 as suggested by Ingrisch & Shishodia (2000). But female of L. mursinga Ingrisch & Shishodia, 2000 differs from females of both these species in the presence of triangular shape of subgenital plate which is rounded in L. braehyptera Ingrisch, 1987 and truncated in L. emanueli Ingrisch, 1990 .
