Supplementary description.

Male. Coloration: head and face black; ocelli pale; antennal sockets white; antenna brown; labial palp and maxillary palp orange-yellow. Pronotum and tegmina black or dark brown. Legs black; tarsi orange-yellow; pulvilli and arolia white. Abdomen black or dark brown. Head: roundly triangular, as wide as 1 / 3 width of pronotum, middle of frons exhibits a concavity; surface with slight metallic luster or not; eyes large and reniform, interocular space at vertex narrow; ocelli round or triangular; antennal sockets round, larger than or equal to ocelli (Fig. 4 C View Figure 4 ). Pronotum: transverse, anterior margin curved, posterior margin flattened, disc convex; dorsal surface with punctations; ventrum with typical carinae at sides, which end with a lobe (Fig. 4 A, C View Figure 4 ). Tegmina: fully developed, elongate oval, extending beyond end of abdomen; venation with lots of obvious cells composed by longitudinal veins and numerous cross-veins (Fig. 4 A View Figure 4 ). Legs: front femur type C 1; hind and middle legs each have one spine on posterior margin of femur and base. Abdomen: soft; subgenital plate with a large membranous area on right side; styli present on both sides (Fig. 4 E View Figure 4 ); paraprocts obvious and apex rounded, left one stouter than right one (Fig. 4 D View Figure 4 ). Genitalia: distal half of R 5 slightly slender; terminal part of hook-apex sclerite bifurcate (Fig. 4 F – I View Figure 4 ).

Legs black; tarsi orange-yellow; pulvilli and arolia white. Abdomen black or dark brown. Head: rounder than male; width of head 1 / 3 width of pronotum; middle of frons exhibits a concavity but not obvious; eyes large and reniform, interocular space on vertex wider than in males; ocelli round or triangular, smaller than that of males; antennal sockets round, bigger than ocelli; length and shape of antenna. Pronotum: transverse, anterior margin curved, posterior margin truncate, dorsal surface with punctations but almost smooth; thicker than in males; disk convex; ventral pronotum with typical carinae at sides (Fig. 4 J, L View Figure 4 ). Tegmina and hindwing absent. Legs: front femur type C 1; hind and middle legs each have one spine on posterior margin of the femur and base. Abdomen: integument hardened (Fig. 4 J, K View Figure 4 ); pit formula [3] (Fig. 4 M View Figure 4 ). Cerci very short, with only one segment. Supra-anal plate transversely oval, anterior margin truncate, posterior margin curved; dorsal surface with punctations (Fig. 4 M View Figure 4 ).
