Figures 1– 2 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 , 9E–F View FIGURE 9

Diagnosis. The new species can be recognized by the following: abdominal tergite black ( Fig. 9E–F View FIGURE 9 ); cell of tegmina brown; posterior margin of male ninth abdominal tergite with 1 pair of small compressed spines, the spines of both sides crossing each other.

Male. Size normal for the genus. Face wide ovoid, nearly smooth, with scattered impressed dots; fastigium verticis broad, about 1.3 times as wide as scape, lateral margin not raised ( Fig. 1A–B View FIGURE 1 ). Ocelli distinct, median ocellus large with upper margin almost straight and ventral margin semi-circular ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ).

Wings considerably surpassing apices of hind femora ( Fig. 9E–F View FIGURE 9 ). Tegmen ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ): Media arises from R in middle area, R forked near tip. Cubitus anterior forks into two branches, CuA1 and CuA2; cubitus posterior free, undivided. With 4 anal veins, the last two with common base. Hind wings slightly longer than tegmina.

Fore coxae with a small spine. Fore and middle femora ventrally unarmed; tibiae with 4 pairs of spurs and 1 pair of apical spurs on ventral surfaces. Middle tibiae with 1 dorsal spine on internal margin. Hind femora with 2–3 internal and 4–7 external ventral spines; tibiae with 6 pairs of dorsal spines, these becoming larger apically; ventral surface of tibiae with 1 pair of subapical spurs, apices with 1 pair of dorsal spurs and 2 pairs of ventral spurs.

Second and third abdominal tergites with two rows of very minute stridulatory pegs ( Fig. 1F View FIGURE 1 ). Eighth abdominal tergite prolonged ( Fig. 1H View FIGURE 1 ). Ninth abdominal tergite curved downward and slightly forward, the apical half split in midline, on both sides of split area with a subtriangular tubercle and below both tubercles with 1 small compressed spine which almost straight and invisible in dorsal view ( Fig. 1I, K–L View FIGURE 1 ). Cerci longer, cylindrical, nearly straight ( Fig. 1I View FIGURE 1 ). Subgenital plate wider than long, anterior margin arched concave; basal area of lateral margins convex, narrowing to apex; apical area narrower than basal, posterior margin slightly obtuse-triangularly concave ( Fig. 1J View FIGURE 1 ). Styli inserted laterally at posterior margin of subgenital plate.

Coloration. Yellowish brown, frons greenish when alive. Cell of wings brown ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). Abdominal tergite black ( Fig. 9E–F View FIGURE 9 ).

Measurements (mm). Body w/wings: ♂ 38.1; body w/o wings: ♂ 28.8; pronotum: ♂ 7.1; tegmen: ♂ 26.8– 27.8; hind femur: ♂ 16.6.

Female. Unknown.

Material examined. Holotype: male (originally conserved in alcohol), Gulinjing, Maguan , Yunnan, July 28, 2021, coll. by Wei Bin, Xiaoyu Peng and Xun Bian.
