Figure 2 View FIGURE 2
Description. Male. Body medium. Face with impressed dots; fastigium verticis about 2 times as wide as scape; fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a very fine suture ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). Ocelli distinct, median ocellus slightly larger than lateral ocelli ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ).
Anterior margin of pronotum projected in middle, posterior margin nearly straight ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ); lateral lobes longer than high, anterior angle widely rounded, posterior angle rounded angular, humeral sinus indistinct ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ).
Wings slightly surpassing the hind femora. Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces; hind femora with 7–10 internal and 4–7 external spines. Fore and middle tibiae with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs on ventral surfaces; middle tibiae with 1 internal apical spine on dorsal surface. Hind tibiae with 6 pairs of dorsal spines and 1 pair of apical spurs on dorsal surface, ventral surface with 1 pair of subapical spurs and 2 pairs of apical spurs.
Abdominal tergites two and three each with two rows of stridulatory pegs ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ). Eighth and ninth abdominal tergites prolonged and down-curved. Tenth abdominal tergite short with 1 pair of hooks, its basal half stout, apical half right-angularly incurved and terminating into a sharp spine, its apex pointing inward ( Fig. 2F–H View FIGURE 2 ). Subgenital plate longer than wide, lateral margins subparallel, posterior margin widely concave in middle ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ). Styli slender located on both sides of the subapical area of subgenital plate ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ).
Female. Unknown.
Coloration. Body yellow with purplish red spots. Margins of antennal cavities black; bases and apices of scape and bases of pedicel with black spots ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). Pronotum with purplish red median band which widened at anterior and posterior margins ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ). All legs with purplish red spots. Tegmina semitransparent yellow; veins purplish red. Dorsal surface of abdomen purplish red. Apical half of processes of male tenth abdominal tergite black ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ).
Measurements (mm). Male: BL 23.44–24.16, PL 5.41–5.93, TL 17.99–19.19, HFL 12.96–13.52.
Material examined. Holotype: male, Kengdi, Shouning , Fujian, July 17, 2023, coll. by Fanduo Cai . Paratype: 1 male, the other information as holotype.
Discussion. The new species differs from Homogryllacris rufovaria Liu, 2007 (Chinese name: ÷äñșŝ) by the spines of male tenth abdominal tergite directing inwards ( Fig. 2G View FIGURE 2 ) instead of directing interno-ventrad ( Fig. 3G View FIGURE 3 ); posterior margin of male subgenital plate with shallow concavity in middle ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ), while the latter species has deeper concavity ( Fig. 3I View FIGURE 3 ).
Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from Latin fove referring to the posterior margin of male subgenital plate shallowly concave in the middle.
