ḔṮAEợ⁂
Figures 2–3
Description. Male. Body large. Frons smooth with impressed dots (Fig. 2A). Fastigium verticis slightly wider than scape, the lateral margins raised. Ocelli distinct.
Pronotum projected faintly projecting in the median of anterior margin, posterior margin truncate (Fig. 2C); lateral lobes longer than deep (Fig. 2D).
Fore coxae with 1 spine. Fore and middle femora unarmed on ventral surfaces; hind femora with 15–16 internal and 6–11 external spines on ventral surface. Fore and middle tibiae with 5 pairs of ventral spurs, including 1 pair of apical ones; hind tibiae with 4–6 internal and 5–6 external spines on dorsal surface, apices with 1 pair of dorsal spurs, 1 pair of subapical ventral spurs and 2 pairs of ventral spurs.
Tegmina developed, obviously surpassing the apex of abdomen, and reaching the apices of hind tibiae. Second and third abdominal tergites without stridulatory pegs (Fig. 2E). Eighth abdominal tergite prolonged backwards and ventrad. Ninth abdominal tergite split along the midline, on both sides swollen, ventro-apical angle produced into a short, stout, and incurved spine gradually narrowing to acute tip, apices curved, in situ spines crossing each other (Fig. 2F). Subgenital plate broader than long, basal margin nearly straight, posterior margin arched (Fig. 2F). Styli cylindrical, upcurved, longer than subgenital plate, inserted at apico-lateral angles of the plate.
Female. Seventh abdominal sternite densely setose. Subgenital plate longer than wide, basal margin straight with 1 pair of copulatory depressions, lateral margins narrowing with middle area contracted (Fig. 3H, I), apical half narrowly rounded, posterior margin almost straight. Ovipositor elongate, faintly upcurved, tip subacute (Fig. 3G).
Coloration. Body yellowish brown. Frons purple. Eyes, genae and labrum black. Ocelli yellowish. Margins of pronotum black, disc with black patterns as Figs. 2C and 3B. Dorsal spines of hind black.
Measurements (mm). Male: BL 29.6–34.6, PL 7.5–8.7, TL 25.9–41.6, HFL 19.4–21.2; Female: BL 34.5–37.1, PL 8.3–8.8, TL 40.5–40.9, HFL 20.7–22.8, OvL 19.3–22.2.
Material examined. Holotype: male, Fenshuiling, Yunnan, June 16, 2023, coll. by Siyu Pang and Shan Li. Paratypes: 1 male and 2 females, the other information as holotype.
Distribution. Yunnan (Jinping).
Discussion. The new species differs from Capnogryllacris erythrocephala maculatis Liu, Lu & Bian, 2022 in the following: body lighter, yellowish brown, the black pattern of pronotum projecting in middle; male ninth abdominal tergite with short, stout spines, posterior margin of subgenital plate arched instead of obtusely triangularly concave; lateral margins of female subgenital plate contracted in middle, the apical half obvious narrower.
Etymology. Named after the type locality.
