Diagnosis. E. sanghaensis n. sp. is characterized by the shape of the eye not much elongated as in Eurycorypha , more similar to that of Plangiodes , but more prominent. Lateral carinae of forehead are stout, lateral carinae are present on pronotum, dorsal margin of fore tibiae is rounded, mirror of right tegmen is absent.
Description. Male ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 21–26 ). General habitus and colour. Antennae greenish, forehead carinae yellow, body green, tegmina green ( Figs. 21, 23, 24 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Abdomen yellow, legs yellow-green, tarsi blackish. Head and antennae. Fastigium of vertex not contiguous with fastigium of frons, scarcely wider than first antennal segment. Eyes a little elliptical, prominent, face smooth with lateral stout carinae below the eyes ( Figs. 23–24 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Thorax. Pronotum as long as high, with lateral carinae, surface shiny with a well-developed humeral excision on the lateral lobes ( Figs. 21, 24 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Anterior margin of pronotum incurved, posterior margin rounded, pronotum lobes widely rounded. Tegmina with a net of veinlets; anterior margin of tegmina rounded. Stridulatory area marked, posteriorly protruding, right tegmina with a wide posterior protruding base and mirror lacking ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 21–26 ), stridulatory file short, ca. 0.4 mm long, consisting of about 50 sinuous teeth, central higher than external ones ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Legs. Short, fore coxae armed with a fine spine, open tympana on inner and on outer fore tibiae, that are rounded dorsally. Ventral inner margin of fore femora armed with 3 spines, ventral outer margin of mid femora armed with 3 spines, ventral outer and inner margins of hind femora armed with 3–4 spines, genicular lobes of hind femora armed with 1 spine on inner and outer margins. Fore tibiae ventrally armed with 6 spines + 1 apical spur on outer and inner margins, mid tibiae armed with 7 ventral spines + 1 spur on outer and inner margins, hind tibiae with many spines on ventral and dorsal margins + 3 apical spurs on each side. Abdomen. Last abdominal tergite inflated laterally, supragenital plate long, cerci stout at the base, with a robust apical inward spine ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Subgenital plate much longer than wide, ending with two tips, styli absent ( Fig. 26a View FIGURES 21–26 ).
Measurements (mm). Male. Body length: 19.0; length of pronotum: 3.6; height of pronotum: 3.6; length of fore femora: 3.4; length of mid femora: 5.7; length of hind femora: 11.1; length of tegmina: 24.3; width of tegmina: 6.0.
Etymology. After the Sangha river in the Dzanga-Sangha SR ( CAR).
