Description of the female

(Based on the specimens collected from the type locality). No significant variation observed amongst conspecific specimens.

Tegmina and wings. Wings elongate, surpassing apex of stretched hind tibia. Tegmen: R releases Rs near the middle, both forked near apical area; MA releases MP near the third base; CuA releases CuA 1 and CuA 2 near the third base; MP and CuA 1 shortly fuse near the middle; CuP unbranched, free throughout; with 4 anal veins. Hind wing slightly longer than tegmen (Fig. 10 G, H View Figure 10 ).

Abdomen. Seventh abdominal sternite subquadrate, distinctly sclerotised, with several transverse riffles near apical third, then suddenly strongly widened laterally and elevated forming a pair of auricular lateral lobes, apices rounded; posterior margin slightly concave. Subgenital plate short, with numerous transverse riffles, apex slightly concave (Fig. 4 J View Figure 4 ). Cercus long conical, apex slightly acute. Ovipositor moderately upcurved, apex rounded (Fig. 4 K View Figure 4 ).

Colouration. Body yellowish-brown. Fastigium verticis and occiput black, antennal socket with the edge black, antenna black; face with 1 black longitudinal stripe on lateral areas. Eyes brown. Pronotum with black stripe along entire margin, bearing 2 pairs of black spots, the basal pair crescent-shaped. Tegmina and hind wings transparent, veins dark brown. Spines and spurs on fore and middle tibiae brown; apices of spines and spurs on hind femur and hind tibia brown.

Measurements

(mm). Body: ♂ 24.2, ♀ 24.6; pronotum: ♂ 6.0, ♀ 6.3; tegmen: ♂ 37.8, ♀ 34.9; hind femur: ♂ 16.4, ♀ 17.5; ovipositor: ♀ 13.9.

Discussion.
