Figures 193–196 View FIGURE 193 View FIGURE 194 View FIGURE 195 View FIGURE 196
Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 194 View FIGURE 194 ). Tegmina with five large asymmetric hyaline bands; hyaline bands without spots; cell MP–CuA narrow ( Fig. 194 View FIGURE 194 ). Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 193E View FIGURE 193 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 193E View FIGURE 193 ).
Description. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 193E View FIGURE 193 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 193E View FIGURE 193 ).
Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 194 View FIGURE 194 ). Tegmina with five large asymmetric hyaline bands; hyaline bands without spots; cell MP-CuA narrow ( Fig. 194 View FIGURE 194 ). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; basal and apical teeth smaller ( Fig. 195A View FIGURE 195 ). Total file length of 2.7 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and a total of 54 teeth. Rigth stridulatory file damaged with total of 50 teeth ( Fig. 195B View FIGURE 195 ).
Legs. All femora ventrally with several small spines ( Figs. 193F–H View FIGURE 193 ).
Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 193I–K View FIGURE 193 ). Apex of cercus with small curved convex projection with a dark brown color ( Fig. 193K View FIGURE 193 ). Stylus fusiform ( Fig. 193I View FIGURE 193 ). Apex of stylus exceeding half of cercus length, in ventral view ( Fig. 193I View FIGURE 193 ).
Internal male genitalia. Not examined.
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 193 View FIGURE 193 ). Body and tegmina yellowish green. Eyes light brown. Dorso-lateral suture large and black.
Female: Unknown.
Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, gurupi comes from the Brazilian indigenous language Tupi and means “pure diamond”, in reference to the typical locality of this species, the Gurupi Biological Reserve.
Distribution. Brazil: Maranhão ( Fig. 196 View FIGURE 196 ).
