Type-species: Allocyrtopsis platycerca sp. nov., here designated.

Body small, brachypterous. Fastingum of vertex conical, with a groove dorsally; last segment of maxillary palpi slightly longer than preceding segment. Pronotum almost covering half of body, metazona considerably elevated and expended, with low pleurite and oblique hind margin, without humeral sinus. Tegmina shorter than pronotum, most or all concealed beneath pronotum, stridulatory fields present in male. Fore coxae with spine, all femora unarmed, auditory of tibiae open on both sides, fore and mid tibiae with movable spines on both margins of ventral surface, lower lobe of hind knee without spine, hind tibiae with 3 pairs of apical spurs. Male 10th abdominal tergite without lobes on hind margin, epiproct not fused with preceding tergite, male subgenital plate with styli. Female ovipositor margins smooth.

This new genus is distinguished from Neocrytopsis Liu & Zhang, 2007 by its smaller body and the structure of male eprproct and its not being merged with 10th abdominal tergite.
