Head typical of this subgenus in structure (Fig. 2), with narrow and almost angular in profile rostrum (scape approximately 1.4 times as wide as rostral apex), with distinct and medium-sized ocelli, and with rather short and almost oval in shape apical segment of maxillary palpi. Pronotum slightly wider than long, somewhat narrowing to head, with moderately low lateral lobes and almost horizontal ventral edges of these lobes, with barely concave anterior and slightly convex posterior edges of disc (Fig. 2). Tegmina covering abdomen and surpassing apex of hind femur, with mirror longer than wide, with stridulatory vein as in Fig. 20, with R clearly fused with 1 MA 1 after lancet-like area, and with 16 branches on Sc (Fig. 10); hind wings clearly surpassing tegmina. Fore tibiae slightly swollen, with inner tympanum slit-like, with outer tympanum open and having elongate, oval tympanal membrane; hind tibiae with 6 inner and 5 outer long spines in distal half, 1 – 3 denticles between inner spines, 2 – 4 denticles between inner spines, with small denticles before most proximal spines, and with inner spurs (apical spines) longer than corresponding outer ones. Abdomen with anal and genital plates as in Figs 21, 22; genitalia with very high dorsal epiphallic spines directed upwards and slightly forwards, rather long distal epiphallic part (behind these spines) almost equal in length to proximal epiphallic part (before spines), rather low apical parts of epiphallus, long ectoparameres having spine-like distal part rather long and curved downwards, long rachis (guiding rod) having rather long apical (strongly widened) part, and moderately short formula (mold of spermatophore attachment plate) (Figs 32 – 34). Female unknown. Length in mm. Body 19.9; body with wings 27.7; pronotum 3.4; tegmina 20.5; hind femora 12.4. Comparison. The new species is most similar to V. variabilis and V. glabra in the structure of male genitalia. It is clearly distinguished from V. variabilis by much higher dorsal epiphallic spines, a distinctly shorter and slightly concave in profile proximal part of the epiphallus, and much longer ectoparameres. From V. glabra, the new species differs in higher epiphallic spines, longer ectoparameres with more strongly curved distal parts, and a shorter proximal epiphallic part (before dorsal spines).	en	Gorochov, Andrej V., Tan, Ming Kai (2014): Species of the subgenus Cantotrella (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Podoscirtinae: Varitrella) from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Female unknown. Length in mm. Body 18; body with wings 29; pronotum 3; tegmina 20.5; hind femora 11.5. Comparison. The new species is most similar to V. mjobergi, described by Chopard (1930) from Sarawak State of Malaysia in Borneo (“ Mount Dulit ”), in the characteristic epiphallus. However, it is distinguished from V. mjobergi by the absence of a pair of distinct dark longitudinal stripes running dorsally from inner parts of the eyes to the head posterior edge, presence of a dark median area on the pronotal disc, a clearly longer apical area of the dorsal tegminal field (this area is not shorter than a space from the stridulatory vein to distal edge of mirror; vs. this area is distinctly shorter than the above-mentioned space), a somewhat shorter and slightly curved (in profile) epiphallus, and a more projected posterior part of the rachis in male genitalia.	en	Gorochov, Andrej V., Tan, Ming Kai (2014): Species of the subgenus Cantotrella (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Podoscirtinae: Varitrella) from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

03CBD073FFD3FFD8498D9F32FACAFA82.taxon	description	Description. Male (holotype). Size of body almost as in V. sukau. Coloration yellowish (very light) with following marks: head with light grey area behind ocelli (near them), a pair of brownish longitudinal stripes behind eyes, very sparse dark and darkish dots on dorsum and maxillary palpi, and rather sparse small brown spots on antennae; pronotum with sparse dark dots and small spots on disc and lateral lobes, and with slightly darkened (almost indistinct) stripe on each lateral lobe along its dorsal edge; tegmina almost transparent but with rather numerous and diverse dark spots as well as with darkish dots and short stripes; abdomen with light brown dorsum of majority of tergites. Head with somewhat more angularly projected rostrum (in profile) than in previous congeners; scape approximately 2.1 times as wide as rostral apex; pronotum distinctly narrowing to head and with obtusely angulate posterior edge of disc (Fig. 9); tegmina and legs typical of this subgenus, but with apical area of dorsal tegminal field moderately long (Fig. 19); anal plate without distinct central membranous area but with rather long and shallow median (almost groove-like) concavity; genital plate as in previous congeners; genitalia with epiphallus similar in shape to that of second and third species groups of Cantotrella (its dorsal spines situated almost at apex of epiphallus, and rest of epiphallus lacking denticulate parts), without visible ectoparameres (possibly they strongly reduced and looking as membranous fold-like lobes similar to those of V. conspersa and V. depressa but lacking sclerotized areas), and with long rachis almost not widened distally and having virga-like median spine (Figs 53 – 55). Female. General appearance as in male, but head dorsum with several light grey areas situated between ocelli and posterior edge of head, dorsal tegminal field yellowish (semitransparent) with sparse small dark marks along lateral edge as well as very sparse darkish dots on proximal part and more numerous short darkish stripes on distal half, venation of this field with 11 more or less oblique longitudinal veins and numerous and somewhat irregular crossveins, lateral tegminal field with 8 – 9 branches on Sc and slightly sparser and more regular (but less distinct) crossveins. Genital plate similar to that of V. robusta but with somewhat wider both distal part of this plate and its posteromedian notch; ovipositor much shorter than in latter species (hind femur approximately 1.3 times as long as ovipositor) and with drilling apex (Figs 56 – 58). Length in mm. Body: male 15, female 17; body with wings: male 27, female 33; pronotum: male 2.7, female 3.2; tegmina: male 18, female 23; hind femora: male 12.5, female 14.5; ovipositor 11. Comparison. The new species possibly belongs to the second species group of Cantotrella, as it has similarly reduced ectoparameres in the male genitalia. This species is distinguished from all the other species of the second group by the absence of sclerotized areas in the inner surface of these membranous ectoparameres, and from all the other congeners by membranous ectoparameres in combination with a characteristic structure of the epiphallus.	en	Gorochov, Andrej V., Tan, Ming Kai (2014): Species of the subgenus Cantotrella (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Podoscirtinae: Varitrella) from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
