Apolinaria Rehn, 1950

Diagnosis. Vertex with an almost perpendicular, laterally compressed, pointed process with obtuse tip ( Figs. 18AB ). Pronotal disc with laterally expanded metazone ( Fig. 18C ). Hind femora and tibiae with elongate, curved spines ( Fig. 18A ). All genicular lobes developed in the shape of an elongated spine. Tegmina relatively short and not extending beyond tips of extended hind femora, maximum width almost equal to 2/5 of the length ( Fig. 18A ). Male cerci short, robust, and with hairs on basal surface. Both branches curved perpendicularly upward, then narrowing toward the tip ( Figs. 18E–F ). Ovipositor curved with rounded and delicately toothed tip. Female cerci thin and half as long as ovipositor ( Fig. 18D ).

Type species. Machima hygracantha Karsch, 1896 , by monotypy and original designation.

Distribution. Eastern slope of Colombian Andes ( Map 4 ).
