Figures 69–73 View FIGURE 69 View FIGURE 70 View FIGURE 71 View FIGURE 72 View FIGURE 73

Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 70 View FIGURE 70 ). Mesobasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 69E View FIGURE 69 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly triangular; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 69E View FIGURE 69 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection with protuding corner and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 69K View FIGURE 69 ). Left and right stridulatory file sinuose ( Fig. 71 View FIGURE 71 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally blunt tip ( Fig. 69E View FIGURE 69 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly triangular; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 69E View FIGURE 69 ).

Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 70 View FIGURE 70 ). Left stridulatory file slightly sinuose; apical and basal teeth smaller ( Fig. 71A View FIGURE 71 ). Total file length of 2.6 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and a total of 55 teeth. Right stridulatory sinuose; basal teeth more spaced apart ( Fig. 71B View FIGURE 71 ). Total length file of 2.1 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 51 teeth.

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 69H View FIGURE 69 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex not expanded ( Figs. 69I–K View FIGURE 69 ). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection with protruding corner and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 69K View FIGURE 69 ). Stylus small and triangular ( Fig. 69I View FIGURE 69 ).

Internal male genitalia. Not examined.

Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 72 View FIGURE 72 ). General color of the body dark green. Eyes light green with dark green spots. Abdomen whitewish-green. Tegmina dark green with numerous small circular white spots; margins of tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with a narrow yellow band. Cercus light green.

Female: Unknown.

Etymology. The epithet is in apposition, tiquira comes from the Brazilian indigenous language Nheengatu and means “drops, spots”, in reference to the coloring with spots of this species.

Distribution. Brazil: Roraima ( Fig. 73 View FIGURE 73 ).

Coments. Group formed by eleven species widely distributed in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Amazon Forest biomes. They are characterized by the elongated tegmina ( Fig. 90 View FIGURE 90 ); expanded portion of hindfemur equivalent to 1/2 of femoral length ( Fig. 89 View FIGURE 89 ); branches of the MP and MA veins not forked close to the tegmina margin ( Fig. 90 View FIGURE 90 ). Left stridulatory file with curved ( Fig. 91 View FIGURE 91 ). Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded ( Figs. 89J–K View FIGURE 89 ).
