Figures 32–36 View FIGURE 32 View FIGURE 33 View FIGURE 34 View FIGURE 35 View FIGURE 36

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 33 View FIGURE 33 ). Mesobasisternum lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly concave, posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolateral triangular tip ( Fig. 32E View FIGURE 32 ). Metabasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly concave, posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 100° ( Fig. 32E View FIGURE 32 ). Apex of cercus with bilobed projection with a dark brown color ( Fig. 32K View FIGURE 32 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, lobed, laterally curved and not exceeding the total length of the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 32A–B View FIGURE 32 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly concave, posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolateral triangular tip ( Fig. 32E View FIGURE 32 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly concave, posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 100° ( Fig. 32E View FIGURE 32 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 33 View FIGURE 33 ). Left stridulatory file with slightly curved basal half and straight apical half; Initial teeth basal and apical minor ( Fig. 34A View FIGURE 34 ). Total file length of 1.9 mm, greater vein width of 0.3 mm and total of 54 teeth. Right stridulatory with curved basal half and sinuose apical half; basal teeth smaller and more distant from each other ( Fig. 34B View FIGURE 34 ). Total length file of 1.8 mm, widest vein of 0.1 mm and total of 49 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 32H View FIGURE 32 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 32I–K View FIGURE 32 ). Apex of cercus with bilobed projection with a dark brown color ( Fig. 32K View FIGURE 32 ). Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 32I View FIGURE 32 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 35A–D View FIGURE 35 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe small and asymmetrical ( Figs. 35A–B View FIGURE 35 ). Titillator process large and asymmetrical ( Figs. 35A–D View FIGURE 35 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, lobed, laterally curved and not exceeding the total length of the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 35A–B View FIGURE 35 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly with median triangular projection, anterolaterally, laterally straight and posteriorly convex ( Figs. 35A– D View FIGURE 35 ). Dorsal folds elongated, large and with asymmetrical apex ( Figs. 35C–D View FIGURE 35 ).

Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 32 View FIGURE 32 ). Body yellowish-brown with green regions. Eyes brown.

Female: Unknown

Etymology. This species is dedicated to the Orthopterologist and friend Gustavo Tavares.
