Gryllacris (Pardogryllacris) pardalina Gerstaecker, 1860

Figs. 14 I–J

Diagnosis. Pronotum medium brown with suspicious black hieroglyphic pattern. Tegmen light brown semitransparent with light veins and mostly black cross-veins bordered by narrow black bands. Hind wings semitransparent with brown veins and black cross-veins bordered by narrow black bands. Male ninth abdominal tergite elongate with down-curved lateral and apical margins. Ninth tergite largely displaced to the underside of the eighth tergite with only the short, bilobate apical area projecting behind ( Figs 14 I–J). The free posterior area is obviously moveable against the basal plate. After a short stem it widens into two roughly oval lobes.
