Neotetricodes kuankuoshuiensis Zhang et Chen, 2012

( Figs 6 , 56–59 )

N. kuankuoshuiensis Zhang et Chen, 2012: 39 : Figs 10–18 .

Description. Coloration. General color black brown. Vertex, pronotum, mesonotum black. Frons with numerous pale mottling.

Head and thorax. Vertex shorter in midline than wide at base (4.10: 1.00), with median carina. Frons flat, longer in middle than the widest portion (1.10: 1.00), with median and lateral carinae. Tegmina 2.7 times as long as maximum width, ScP and R forked near 1/5 base, MP three or four branched, MP1+2 bifurcate near apical 1/3, MP3+4 bifurcate at middle part, uniting near apical margin, CuA not forked, simple, CuP present, Pcu and A1 uniting in basal 2/3 of clavus. Hind tibiae ( Fig. 12 ) each with 2 or 3 spines, spinal formula of hind leg 8–8–2.

Male genitalia. Anal tube in dorsal view mushroom-shaped, short, without two lobes near apical margin. Anal style short, located in basal 2/3 of anal tube. Phallobase with dorsal lobe with small triangular process on each side near apical margin in lateral view; in ventral view ventral lobe irregularly quadrate, anterior margin trifoliate, rounded apically. Aedeagus with one lamellar process near middle on each side in lateral view, with apically bilobed in ventral view.

Female genitalia. As in N. clavatus , but anal tube ( Fig. 56 ) sub-rectangular, distinctly longer in midline than the widest portion (1.90: 1.00); Anterior connective lamina of gonapophyses VIII ( Fig. 58 ) with 6 teeth bearing 6 keels in lateral group. Posterior connective lamina of gonapophyses IX ( Fig. 59 ) with median field with a hillshaped prominence (medial dorsal process) ( Fig. 59 ), the apical margin with median incision, the prominence relatively short; distal parts bent at obtuse angle in dorsal view ( Fig. 59 ).
