Diagnosis. Vein MA with five main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 164 View FIGURE 164 ). Tegmina with five narrow and well-defined hyaline bands; hyaline bands with small black spots grouped together forming large asymmetrical spots ( Fig. 164 View FIGURE 164 ). Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly concave, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 163E View FIGURE 163 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° and posterolateral convex tip ( Fig. 163E View FIGURE 163 ). Left stridulatory with basal portion with teeth little smaller, curved and total 9 teeth ( Fig. 165A View FIGURE 165 )

Redescription. Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly concave, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 163E View FIGURE 163 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° and posterolateral convex tip ( Fig. 163E View FIGURE 163 ).

Wings. Vein MA with five main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 164 View FIGURE 164 ). Tegmina with five narrow and well-defined hyaline bands, overlapping the branches of the M and CuA veins; hyaline bands with small black spots grouped together forming large asymmetrical spots ( Fig. 164 View FIGURE 164 ).
