Figures 108–113 View FIGURE 108 View FIGURE 109 View FIGURE 110 View FIGURE 111 View FIGURE 112 View FIGURE 113

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 109 View FIGURE 109 ). Mesobasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip ( Fig. 108E View FIGURE 108 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex with two small convex lateral protuberances; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally with blunt pit forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 108E View FIGURE 108 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 108K View FIGURE 108 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip ( Fig. 108E View FIGURE 108 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly convex with two small convex lateral protuberances; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally with blunt pit forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 108E View FIGURE 108 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 109 View FIGURE 109 ). Left stridulatory file curved; basal and apical teeth minor ( Fig. 110A View FIGURE 110 ). Total file length of 2.1 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and total of 46 teeth. Rigth stridulatory curved; basal half teeth smaller and more spaced apart ( Fig. 110B View FIGURE 110 ). Total length file of 1.9 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 50 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length ( Fig. 109H View FIGURE 109 ).

Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded ( Figs. 108I–K View FIGURE 108 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 108K View FIGURE 108 ). Stylus long and rectangular ( Fig. 108I View FIGURE 108 ).

Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform ( Figs. 111A–D View FIGURE 111 ). Upper folds of ventral lobe short, triangular and not connected ( Figs. 111A–B View FIGURE 111 ). Titillator process assymmetric ( Figs. 111A–D View FIGURE 111 ). Lower folds of ventral lobe bilobed, rounded and not exceeding the dorsal lobe ( Figs. 111A–B View FIGURE 111 ). Dorsal lobes anteriorly convex ( Figs. 111A–D View FIGURE 111 ). Dorsal folds elongated and asymmetric ( Figs. 111C–D View FIGURE 111 ).

Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 112 View FIGURE 112 ). Body light green. Eyes beige with light brown spots. Abdomen whitish green. Dark green legs with light green asymmetric spots. Cercus light green. Tegmina slightly hyaline, with light green coloring; radial branches with numerous small circular yellow spots; cubital and median branches with small black spots; margins of tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with a narrow yellow band.

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, pucu [puku] comes from the Brazilian Tupi indigenous language and means “long”, in reference to elongated shape of this katydid.

Distribution. Brazil: Acre ( Fig. 113 View FIGURE 113 ).
