Neotetricodes quadrilamina Zhang et Chen, 2012

( Figs 7 , 60–63 )

N. quadrilamina Zhang et Chen, 2012: 37 : Figs 1–9 .

Description. Coloration. General color brown. Vertex, pronotum, mesonotum brown. Frons with numerous pale mottling.

Head and thorax. Vertex shorter in midline than wide at base (5.30: 1.00), with median carina. Frons flat, longer in middle than the widest portion (1.09: 1.00), with median and lateral carinae. Pronotum with median carina. Tegmina 2.4 times as long as maximum width, ScP and R forked near 1/4 base, MP three or four branched, MP1+2 bifurcate near apical margin or no bifurcate, MP3+4 bifurcate at middle part, uniting near apical margin, CuA not forked, simple, CuP present, Pcu and A1 uniting in basal 2/3 of clavus. Hind tibiae ( Fig. 13 ) each with 2–4 spines, spinal formula of hind leg 8–8(7, 9, 10)–2.

Male genitalia. Anal tube in dorsal view sub-triangular, relatively short, without two lobes near apical margin. Anal style short, located in middle of anal tube. Phallobase with dorsal lobe with big triangular processes in middline in lateral view; in ventral view ventral lobe irregularly quadrate, anterior margin trifoliate. Aedeagus with two lamellar processes near middle on each side in lateral view, with apically four lobed in ventral view.

Female genitalia. As in N. kuankuoshuiensis but anal tube ( Fig. 60 ) distinctly longer in midline than the widest portion (1.67: 1.00), Posterior connective lamina of gonapophyses IX ( Fig. 63 ) with median field with a hill-shaped prominence (medial dorsal process) ( Fig. 63 ), the apical margin with median incision, the prominence relatively long.
