Reescription. -
General characters as genus.
Male. Fastigium frontis elongated horizontally (Fig. 2 View Fig. 2 ), mandibles each with one long (1.8-2.7 times as long as pronotum) process (tusk) (Figs 1 View Fig. 1 , 2 View Fig. 2 , Table 1 View Table 1 ). Pronotum smooth. Fore and mid femora ventrally with 3-4 spines, hind femora with 4-6 spines at anterior edge. All tibiae ventrally with several spines on both sides; however, hind tibia ventrally only with few spines at tip of posterior edge. Fore tibiae dorsally with 4-5 blunt spine-like tubercles at the anterior edge, ventrally with ca. 6 spines on both sides, midtibia dorsally with 1-2 spines on posterior edge, ventrally with ca. 6 spines on both sides, hind tibia with ca. 8 spines on each edge, the dorsal larger than the ventral spines; however, ventrally only with few spines at tip of posterior edge. Mirror cells in both tegmina subquadratical; in the right larger than in the left (Fig. 3 View Fig. 3 ). Stridulatory file on lower side of left tegmen with ca. 130 regularly spaced teeth (inter-tooth interval 24-32 µm = tooth density ca. 30 mm-1; Fig. 4 View Fig. 4 ; n=1 file), Supraanal plate transverse, distally rounded, or broadly cut off. Subgenital plate elongated, with ca. 1 mm long styli. Cerci with internal subapical spine and blunt apical process, directed inwards at an angle of about 40 degrees (Fig. 5 View Fig. 5 ).
Female. General characters as genus and male. Fastigium frontis elongated vertically (Fig. 2 View Fig. 2 ), mandibles without process (tusk). Subgenital plate transverse, at the distal end slightly and triangularly elongated and slightly incised in the middle.
Coloration. "Head, thorax and legs chestnut, the tibiae darker, the mandibular appendages practically black, palpi pale. …. tegmen with veins brown, cellules and membrane yellowish, much brighter toward base in costal area; wing with veins pale brown, membrane slightly fuscous" ( Gurney 1950). However, other specimens (C_Helb8769, C_Helb8777) not chestnut, but more olive-brown with pro- and metazona of pronotum darker than mesozona or pronotum uniform.
