Redescription. Male stridulatory teeth gradually becoming smaller from middle to both ends, including about 60 distinct stridulatory teeth and other 20–27 indistinct small teeth at apical part (Figs. 21, 22). Male cerci with apex gradually constricted, obtuse (Fig. 49). Male subgenital plate elongate, much longer than wide, apical margin with a small triangular notch, slim styli as long as one third of subgenital plate (Fig. 58). Female with ovipositor robust, slightly longer than pronotum, gradually upcurved, with regularly arranged rows of granulations on lateral surface; apical part tapering, with obliquely truncated ventral margin, and both margins serrate (Figs. 67, 68); subgenital plate wide obtuse triangular (Figs. 75, 76).
Coloration (Figs. 83, 84). Green. Wings commonly green. Tympana with membrane brown. Claw of each tarsus slightly brown. Each abdominal tergum with a large triangular brown spot, with green posterior margin. Male tenth abdominal tergum slightly reddish brown, and cerci, epiproct, paraproct green.
Measurements (mm). Length of body: male 25.0–38.0, female 37.0–43.0; of pronotum: male 9.0–10.5, female 10.0–10.5; height of paranota: male 6.2; length of paranota: male 5.0; of tegmen: male 50.0–56.0, female 50.0–58.0; largest width of tegmen: male 15.5, female 22.7; length of hind wing: male 56.0–62.0, female 62.5–65.5; of posterior femur: male 24.0–28.0, female 25.0–28.0; of apical style of male: 2.08; length of ovipositor 11.0–12.0; largest width of ovipositor 4.5.
Discussion. Based on a female holotype from China, Sympaestria truncato-lobata was established by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878), with a brief description and illustration. We can correctly identify Sympaestria truncato-lobata from the original description of its special ovipositor. Liu (1993) erected another genus Ruidocollaris for the type species Sympaestria truncato-lobata and Liotrachela convexipennis Caudell, and gave rather detailed redescription and illustrations about the type species. Here we agree with him, and provide some supplementation.
Distribution (Fig. 96). China, Japan, Java (Caudell 1927).
