Male characters. Wings: left tegmen Fig. 20G .—Tibia armament: [1.8.0][(5)6.8.1(0)][(8-)10.7.4(5)], dorsal spines of hindtibia in two groups (7+3, 6+3, etc.). According to Chopard (1929) the number of dorsal spines on the hindtibia should be 11; but the lectotype [1.8.0][5/6.8.1][9/10.7.4/5] and the specimens in the M. Paris determined by himself don’t have more than 10 dorsal spines.—Supraanal plate: Fig. 15E .—Cercal tricholiths: Fig. 19D .—Subgenital plate: Fig. 6C .—Right phallomere: Fig. 6D .

Female: Chopard 1929, 331.

FIGURE 19. A–C. Cerci of male with tricholiths, ventral view, all species with more than five sensilla per anulus.—Species: A: Eupolyphaga spec. 2, Bo 1367; B: Heterogamisca bolivari, Syntype, Bo 1356; C: Mononychoblatta semenovi, Bo 1391; D: Heterogamisca cerverae, Bo 1404.—E–H.
