Figures 124–130 View FIGURE 124 View FIGURE 125 View FIGURE 126 View FIGURE 127 View FIGURE 128 View FIGURE 129 View FIGURE 130

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 125 View FIGURE 125 ). Mesobasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral acuminated tip ( Fig. 124E View FIGURE 124 ). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight with two convex lateral protuberances; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 124E View FIGURE 124 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 124K View FIGURE 124 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral acuminated tip ( Fig. 124E View FIGURE 124 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight with two convex lateral protuberances; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 124E View FIGURE 124 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 125 View FIGURE 125 ). Left stridulatory file curved; basal teeth and apicals smaller and gradually increasing in length towards median region ( Fig. 126A View FIGURE 126 ). Total file length of 2.3 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and a total of 55 teeth. Rigth stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half; basal half teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 126B View FIGURE 126 ). Total length file of 1.9 mm, widest vein of 0.1 mm and total of 55 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length ( Fig. 124H View FIGURE 124 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex half not expanded ( Figs. 124I–K View FIGURE 124 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 124K View FIGURE 124 ). Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 124I View FIGURE 124 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 127A–D View FIGURE 127 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe wide, elongated and not connected ( Figs. 127A–B View FIGURE 127 ). Titillator process rounded and posteriorly bilobed ( Figs. 127A–D View FIGURE 127 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe large and subtrapeziodal ( Figs. 127A–B View FIGURE 127 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly convex, anterolaterally com projeção triangular, laterally straight and with a rounded posterior portion ( Figs. 127A–D View FIGURE 127 ). Dorsal folds elongated and narrow ( Figs. 127C–D View FIGURE 127 ).

Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 129A View FIGURE 129 ). General color of the body whitish green with asymmetric patches dark green. Dark green eyes with whitish spots.

Female: Morphologically similar to the male, except by the following characteristics ( Figs. 128A–K View FIGURE 128 ):

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly slightly convex, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 128E View FIGURE 128 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly slightly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 128E View FIGURE 128 ).

Wings. Unaltered anal veins for sound production ( Fig. 128A View FIGURE 128 ).

Abdomen. Cercus straight, apex acuminate ( Figs. 128H–J View FIGURE 128 ). Subgenital plate triangular, apex rounded and stylus absent ( Fig. 128H View FIGURE 128 ). Ovipositor curved; apical region of dorsal and ventral valve with large rectangular teeth ( Fig. 128J View FIGURE 128 ).

Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 129B View FIGURE 129 ). Ovipositor light green with whitish base.

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, tucurasu [tikurasu] comes from the Brazilian Tupi indigenous language and means “large grasshopper”, in reference to the large size of this katydid.

Distribution. Brazil: Acre ( Fig. 130 View FIGURE 130 ).
