REMARKS

With its 25 mm short FW (34-44 mm in Epacra ) reaching the end of the abdomen (exceeding the abdomen in Epacra ), less than twice as long as the FIII (FW more than twice as long as the FIII in Epacra ), having strikingly light veins compared to the darker FW cells (FW are transparent in Epacra ); with the penultimate female sternite modified with two lateral bulging (this sternite is unmodified in Epacra ), this species should at this stage be considered as belonging to Amphibologryllacris . Since the species description, Karny (1935 and also 1937) had doubts on the generic assignation of this taxon, but at this time, in the Indo Australian area, only Epacra was known as having modified meso- and metasternum.
