Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 90 View FIGURE 90 ). Mesobasisternum lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly slightly convex with a blunt apex ( Fig. 89E View FIGURE 89 ). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 89E View FIGURE 89 ). Apex of cercus with straight projection, with three small convex projections; lateral spine narrow with a dark brown color ( Fig. 89K View FIGURE 89 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly slightly convex with a blunt apex ( Fig. 89E View FIGURE 89 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 89E View FIGURE 89 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 90 View FIGURE 90 ). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; apical teeth slightly smaller ( Fig. 91A View FIGURE 91 ). Total file length of 3.8 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and total of 128 teeth. Right stridulatory file with curved base, medium straight and with slightly curved apex; basal teeth larger and more spaced apart ( Fig. 91B View FIGURE 91 ).
