Male.Medium sized body, pubescent, general coloration medium brown, slightly marbled ( Fig. 1A). Head.Dark to medium brown, without maculae. Occiput and vertex medium brown, with yellowish maculae and a thin median line over the epicranial sutures area, with sparse bristles. Fastigium dark brown, mainly on its lateral part, longer than wide, narrower than scape. Three ocelli present, pre-eminent, the median largest ( Figs 1B); eye with unpigmented area on supero-internal angle ( Fig. 1E). Maxillary palpi long and thin ( Figs. 1B, D); joints 1 and 2 whitish, 3rd, 4th and 5th joints medium to light brown at apex ( Fig. 1D); apex of 5th joint slightly curved, light brown to whitish on distal portin ( Fig. 1D). In frontal view, frons light brown with a longitudinal medium brown stripe ( Fig. 1B). Gena light to medium brown; clypeus light brown, the central area medium brown, lower portin whitish ( Fig. 1D); labrum whitish, the apex light brown ( Fig. 1B). Antennal scape whitish ( Fig. 1B); antenomeres medium brown with interspersed light bands. Banding pattern as the figure 1C.  Thorax.Pronotum DD as long as wide, dark brown, slightly pubescent, divided by a thin, light brown vertical line; DD cephalic and caudal margin concave. Male FWs short, triangular, yellowish towards internal border, reaching the first abdominal tergite; apex rounded connected to single vertial vein that divide external part of FW as a lateral field ( Figs. 1F); internal margins not touch each other in apical half; metanotal structure present, composed of a cluster of bristles and two short lateral projectins ( Fig. 1J, arrows).  Legs. FI and FII yellowish. TI and II dark brown annulated with yellowish brown; TI and II with 2 same-sized apical spurs. FIII light brown with several dark brown stripes and spots on inner face, apical part dark brown; outer face light brown with medium brown maculae and stripes, apical part medium brown; TIII medium brown annulated with light brown; TIII subapical spurs 4/4; serrulatin between and above subapical spurs, except between inner apical dorsal (iad) and fist subapical (is1); apical spurs 3/3, more developed on inner face; inner apical spurs ( Fig. 1G, H): median one longer (iam), dorsal sub-equal in length (iad), ventral smallest (iav) (iam>iad>iav); outer apical spurs: median one longer (oam), dorsal sub-equal in length (oad), ventral smaller (oav) (oam>oad>oav).  Abdomen.Dark brown, slightly pubescent, divided by longitudinal light yellow line ( Fig. 1A). Supra anal plate square, medium brown, darkening in the margins; anterior margin straight on median part, lateral margins constricted in median portion ( Fig. 1I); posterior margin straight with extended distal projections in the latero-distal margin. Subgenital plate triangular, longer than wide, pubescent, dark brown; anterior margin sub-straight; posterior margin with distal projections ( Fig. 1L).  Phallic complex.Pseudepiphallus sclerotized, curved inwards ( Figure 2A–C); pseudepiphallic arms sclerotized, straight ( Figs. 2A, B); apex of pseudepiphallic arms bifid, with bristles ( Fig. 2A); lateral projection absent; ventral projection of pseudepiphallic arms short, curved ( Fig. 1B). PsP2 curved and pointed, with membranous sphere ( Fig. 2A); PsP1 well developed, laterally connected with PsP2 ( Figs. 2B, C). Ecophallic invagination: ectophallic apodeme long ( Fig. 2A); ectophallic arc wide, located posteriorly to the median part of pseudepiphallus ( Fig. 2A); dorsal projections of ectophallic invagination short, sclerotized, clearly separated ( Fig. 2A); ectophallic fold entirely membranous; in dorsal view, apex located posteriorly to the PsP2 and pseudepiphallic arms, and connected to the dorsal projections of the pseudepiphallic invagination ( Figs. 2A, B); medio-posterior projection of the endophallic sclerite sclerotized ( Fig. 2B); endophallic apodeme well developed ( Fig. 2B).  Female.Larger than male, general coloration darker than male; maxillary palpi also darker than male ( Fig. 1M); supra anal plate yellowish brown, with anterior margin straight, lateral ones not constricted on median portion, and posterior margin rounded, with thick bristles ( Fig. 1K); subgenital plate small, posterior margin rounded ( Fig. 1N); ovipositor yellowish, as long as FIII and TIII ( Table 1).   Distribution.The only record of  Eidmanacrisin Braziliancaves is for the species  E. alboannulata, which type–locality is the cave “Gruta da Toca”, Itirapina municipality, São PauloState (Mesa & de Mello, 1985). Through identification of material from environmental licensing studies of different lithologies, and bibliography ( e.g. Pinto da Rocha (1995)), the distribution of the genus is expanded to the North and Midwest regions of Brazil, reaching latitudes not recorded for  Eidmanacris( Fig. 4). The known distribution for  E. lencionii  n. sp.is the region of Brumadinho municipality, Minas GeraisState. The sampled caves are located at the east border of the Quadrilatero Ferrifero karst area ( Fig. 3). 1700783822 1969-09-28 MZSP Brazil Bessi 1 2 Minas Gerais holotype 1700783826 [687,1321,1582,1608] 1969-09-28 MZSP Brazil Bessi 1 4 3 1 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783823 2016-09-28 Brazil Bessi 1 2 1 1 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783830 2010-09-28 Brazil Bessi 1 2 1 1 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783827 2016-04-19 2016-04-20 2016-04-19 Brazil Bessi 1 2 2 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783828 1969-08-06 1969-08-07 1969-08-06 Brazil Bessi 1 2 2 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783831 1969-09-28 Brazil Bessi 1 1 1 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783825 1969-09-28 Brazil Bessi 1 1 1 Minas Gerais paratype 1700783824 2016-09-28 Brazil Minas Gerais 2 6 6 Minas Gerais 1700783829 1969-09-28 Brazil Minas Gerais 2 2 2 Minas Gerais
