Diagnosis. Branches of MP and MA veins not connected by transverse veins ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ). First branch of MP vein and third branch of CuA vein connected by two transverse veins, forming a wide pentagonal cell ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ). Lateral lobe of mesobasisternum laterally straight ( Fig. 14E View FIGURE 14 ). Lateral lobe of metabasisternum laterally and posteriorly concave ( Fig. 14E View FIGURE 14 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Lateral lobe of pronotum anteriorly concave ( Fig. 13D View FIGURE 13 ). Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 13E View FIGURE 13 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly concave ( Fig. 13E View FIGURE 13 ).

Wings. Branches of MP and MA veins not connected by transverse veins ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ). Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ). Left stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half. Total file length of 3.3 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and total of 64 teeth. Rigth stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half. Total length file of 2.6 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 57 teeth. Teeth of basal half smaller and more spaced apart; apical half teeth larger and close together ( Figs. 15A–B View FIGURE 15 ).

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 13H View FIGURE 13 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with slender apical half ( Figs. 13I–J View FIGURE 13 ). Apex of cercus with triangular projection, with dark brown color ( Fig. 13K View FIGURE 13 ). Subgenital plate with apex bifurcated between the base of the stylus, with concave recess. Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 13I View FIGURE 13 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 16A–D View FIGURE 16 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe small and biloded ( Figs. 16A–B View FIGURE 16 ). Titillator process round ( Figs. 16A–D View FIGURE 16 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, bilobed and not exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 16A–B View FIGURE 16 ). Dorsal lobes slightly curved; region between the ejaculatory vesicle with triangular projection ( Figs. 16A–D View FIGURE 16 ). Dorsal folds small and narrow ( Figs. 16C–D View FIGURE 16 ).

Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimens ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 ). General color of the body yellowish brown. Brown eyes. Tegmina with Cu and M branch region with small white circular spots.

Female: Morphologically similar to the male, except by the following characteristics ( Figs. 17A–K View FIGURE 17 ):

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral curved blunt tip ( Fig. 17E View FIGURE 17 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 17E View FIGURE 17 ).

Wings. Unaltered anal veins for sound production ( Fig. 17A View FIGURE 17 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved, apex acuminate ( Figs. 17H–J View FIGURE 17 ). Subgenital plate triangular, apex rounded and stylus absent ( Fig. 17H View FIGURE 17 ). Ovipositor curved; apex of ventral valve surpassing the apex of dorsal valve; ovipositor without teeth ( Fig. 17J View FIGURE 17 ).

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, tucuruvi comes from the Tupi-guarani indigenous language and means “green grasshopper”.

Distribution. Brazil: Bahia, Mato Grosso, São Paulo and Paraná ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 ).

Coments. Group formed by eight species of the Amazon rainforest biome. They are characterized by the elongated tegmina ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 ); expanded portion of hindfemur equivalent to 2/3 of femoral length ( Fig. 19H View FIGURE 19 ); branches of the MP and MA veins not forked close to the tegmina margin ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 ). Left stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 ). Margins of tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with a narrow yellow band ( Fig. 24 View FIGURE 24 ). Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 19J–K View FIGURE 19 ).
