Material examined. Cambodia: Koh Kong, Tatai, (11°35'13''N, 103°5'50''E), 9–19.x.2016, leg. J. Constant & J. Bresseel (I.G.: 33.345 GTI project)— 1 male (Brussels RBINS); Pursat, Phnom Samkos, (12°13'2''N, 102°55'7''E), 15–18.x.2016, leg. J. Constant & J.

Additional Description. Medium large species. Head: Face ovoid; forehead in middle with fine riffles, laterally nearly smooth; fastigium verticis little wider than scapus; ocelli distinct; fastigium frontis separated from fastigium verticis by a very fine suture; subocular furrows shallow (Fig. 48O). Abdominal tergites two and three without stridulatory pegs.
Wings surpassing middle of stretched hind tibiae (Fig. 47 D–E). Tegmen: Radius with one or two (only left tegmen male) posterior branches, only the radius stem and the last branch forked near tip; media anterior arises free from base; cubitus anterior at base with a single branch that forks into two veins, the anterior branch makes a curvature and receives an oblique connection vein from MA and shortly after divides again into two parallel branches, MP and CuA1, while the posterior branch (CuA2) does not divide further; cubitus posterior undivided, free throughout. With 4 anal veins, the last two with common base.
Legs: Fore coxa with a spine at fore margin; fore and mid femora unarmed; fore and mid tibiae with four pairs of large ventral spines and one pair of smaller ventral spurs.
Coloration: General color light brown; head mostly black, pronotum with black margin extended along fore- and hind margins; genicular areas and tibiae of all legs black; ovipositor black, tip brown. Face black; only ocelli, ventral margin of clypeus, base of maxillary palpi, and labial palpi of light color. Tegmen light yellowish, towards anterior and posterior margins lighter; in subbasal area with a sub-interrupted black ring; hind wing semitransparent white, main veins yellow to brown; cross veins brown.
Male. Ninth abdominal tergite globular, furrowed in midline; at ventro-apical margin on both sides of middle with an acute spine little bent ventrad in subbasal area (Fig. 50C). Subgenital plate wider than long, lateral margins strongly convex, apical concave; long and stout styli inserted at apico-lateral angles.
Female. Subgenital plate largely membranous, only rim and apical area sclerotised; apex terminating into two subobtuse cones (Fig. 51L). Ovipositor elongate, straight, with slightly converging margins; before tip margins more strongly narrowing, tip subobtuse (Fig. 51M).
Measurements (1 male, 1 female).—body w/wings: male 49, female 48; body w/o wings: male 28, female 31; pronotum: male 6.5, female 6.5; tegmen: male 41, female 39; tegmen width: male 16, female 15; hind femur: male 19, female 21; antenna: female 125; ovipositor: female 23.5 mm.
Discussion. The species was so far known from South Cambodia (Gorochov 2003, Gorochov et al. 2015). The current record increase the known range of the species further North.
