Redescription. Male stridulatory teeth gradually becoming smaller from middle to both ends, including about 60 distinct stridulatory teeth and other 20–27 indistinct small teeth at apical part ( Figs. 21, 22 ). Male cerci with apex gradually constricted, obtuse ( Fig. 49 ). Male subgenital plate elongate, much longer than wide, apical margin with a small triangular notch, slim styli as long as one third of subgenital plate ( Fig. 58 ). Female with ovipositor robust, slightly longer than pronotum, gradually upcurved, with regularly arranged rows of granulations on lateral surface; apical part tapering, with obliquely truncated ventral margin, and both margins serrate ( Figs. 67, 68 ); subgenital plate wide obtuse triangular (Figs. 75, 76).

Coloration ( Figs. 83, 84 ). Green. Wings commonly green. Tympana with membrane brown. Claw of each tarsus slightly brown. Each abdominal tergum with a large triangular brown spot, with green posterior margin. Male tenth abdominal tergum slightly reddish brown, and cerci, epiproct, paraproct green.

Measurements (mm). Length of body: male 25.0–38.0, female 37.0–43.0; of pronotum: male 9.0–10.5, female 10.0–10.5; height of paranota: male 6.2; length of paranota: male 5.0; of tegmen: male 50.0–56.0, female 50.0–58.0; largest width of tegmen: male 15.5, female 22.7; length of hind wing: male 56.0–62.0, female 62.5–65.5; of posterior femur: male 24.0–28.0, female 25.0–28.0; of apical style of male: 2.08; length of ovipositor 11.0–12.0; largest width of ovipositor 4.5.

Discussion. Based on a female holotype from China, Sympaestria truncato-lobata was established by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878), with a brief description and illustration. We can correctly identify Sympaestria truncato-lobata from the original description of its special ovipositor. Liu (1993) erected another genus Ruidocollaris for the type species Sympaestria truncato-lobata and Liotrachela convexipennis Caudell , and gave rather detailed redescription and illustrations about the type species. Here we agree with him, and provide some supplementation.

Distribution ( Fig. 96 ). China, Japan, Java ( Caudell 1927).
