Supplementary description. Head with eyes slightly narrower than pronotum ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Vertex 3.6 times wider than long in middle line, anterior margin acutely convex medianly, and posterior margin deeply concave; median carina wide, offwhite ( Figs 35, 36 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Frons longer than wide in widest part about 1.6 times; upper margin deeply concave, median carinae short, presented at apical fourth, pale yellow, “V” lateral carinae pale black and darkened at base, with about 5 obscure black spots along lateral carinae ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Clypeus triangular, median carina pale yellow ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Pronotum about 2.0 times longer than vertex in middle line; anterior margin convex between eyes, almost reaching the level of tops of eyes ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Mesonotum large, 2.8 times as long as vertex and pronotum in middle line ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Tegmina transparent, clavus with 7–10 transverse veinlets between CuP and Pcu veins, 0–3 transverse vein between two claval veins ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 34 – 41 ). Spinulation formula of hind leg 13–12–2.

Male terminalia. Anal tube with ventral margin sinuate in lateral view; 2.5 times longer than widest part at middle, apical margin slightly convex ( Figs 42, 43 View FIGURES 42 – 55 ). Dorso-basal processes of phallobase hammer-shaped, apicoventral angles sharp in lateral view. Dorso-lateral phallobase lobes with a pair of small triangular processes on dorsal margins at middle, dorsum with about 60 small spikes on each side surface; lateral apical bifurcate processes with upper branches about half length of the under branches. Ventral phallobase lobe strongly sclerous, apical margin nearly straight (Figs 45,119). Phallus with a pair of deeply curved hooks backward directed dorsally near apex ( Figs 46 View FIGURES 42 – 55 , 114 View FIGURES 114 – 118 ).
