Bioacoustics. Tegmina ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), stridulatory file ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ), and spectrum of the song ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ) do not show large differences to the typical Hetrodini pattern. The calling song ( Fig. 7D View FIGURE 7 ) consists of long series of syllables (song type B in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ; see Table 2 View TABLE 2 ).

Genitalia. In structure, the titillator ( Fig. 9I View FIGURE 9 ) is similar to some found in the genus Enyaliopsis . It is relatively small, with broad basal parts, a stout middle section and an even slightly thicker short tip.

Chromosomes: 2n = 27 (26 + X0), FN = 28; pair 1 submeta/subacro, pairs 2–13 acrocentric, X chromosomes metacentric (1 male); thin paracentromeric C-bands in all chromosomes, heteromorphic distal C-block in pair 2 ( Fig. 12G View FIGURE 12 ).
