Description. Male. Body medium, stout. Fastigium of vertex about 2 times as broad as scape. Anterior margin of pronotum slightly projected, posterior margin straight. Tegmina rather extending beyond the apex of hind femora, M vein independent, furcated near base; CuA vein with 2 branches, between the first and the second branches with a short oblique vein connecting with the M vein, A veins 4, the last of them united at base. Wings slightly extending beyond tegmina. Hind femora with 6 external spines and 8–10 internal spines beneath; hind tibiae with 6 external spines and 5 internal spines above. 10th abdominal tergite broadly rounded, each side with a hook-like process, slightly S-curved ( Figs. 4 – 5 ). Cerci rather long, about 5.0 mm long, cylindrical. Hind margin of subgenital plate angularly incised ( Fig. 5 ), lobes narrowly rounded; styli rather flattened.

Female. Tegmina slightly short, extending beyond hind femora. Subgenital plate with apex triangularly excised ( Fig. 7 ). Ovipositor slightly longer than hind femora, slightly upcurved.

Coloration. Body yellowish brown. Ocelli yellow, eyes brown. Tegmina with venations blackish brown, apex of abdomen and spines of legs blackish, all tibiae with marks.

Measurements. (length in mm) Material. Holotype ♂, paratype 2♂♂, China, Henan, Tongbai Mountain, 2000. IX.11, collected by Liu Xian- Wei and Zhang Wei-Nian; 2♀♀, China, Henan, Luoshandongzhai, 1994. VII 23–24, collected by Niu Yao. Distribution. China (Henan).

Discussion. This new species is very similar to Phryganogryllacris sheni Niu et Shi, 1999 , but differs from the latter in: all tibiae with marks and cerci of male rather longer.
