Diagnosis. Vein MA with three main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 185 View FIGURE 185 ). Tegmina with five large asymmetric hyaline bands; hyaline bands without spots; cell MP–CuA rectangular ( Fig. 185 View FIGURE 185 ). Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral acuminate tip ( Fig. 184E View FIGURE 184 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly slightly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 184E View FIGURE 184 ).
Description. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally slightly convex, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral acuminate tip ( Fig. 184E View FIGURE 184 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly slightly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 184E View FIGURE 184 ).
Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 185 View FIGURE 185 ). Tegmina with five large asymmetric hyaline bands; hyaline bands without spots; cell MP-CuA rectangular ( Fig. 185 View FIGURE 185 ). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; basal teeth larger and more spaced ( Fig. 186A View FIGURE 186 ). Total file length of 3.8 mm, greater vein width of 0.9 mm and a total of 66 teeth. Rigth stridulatory sinuose; basal and apical teeth smaller; teeth of the apical half smaller and closer together ( Fig. 186B View FIGURE 186 ). Total file length of 3.3 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and a total of 80 teeth ( Fig. 186B View FIGURE 186 )
Legs. All femora ventrally with several small spines ( Figs. 184F–H View FIGURE 184 ).
Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 184I–K View FIGURE 184 ). Apex of cercus with small curved convex blunt projection with a dark brown color ( Fig. 184K View FIGURE 184 ). Stylus fusiform ( Fig. 184I View FIGURE 184 ). Space between the base of the convex stylus ( Fig. 184H View FIGURE 184 ).
Internal male genitalia. Not examined.
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen ( Fig. 184 View FIGURE 184 ). Body and tegmina yellowish green. Eyes light whitish-purple. Dorso-lateral suture large and black.
Female: Unknown.
