Holotype: ♂, paratypes 2♂, 2♀, Shandong, Taishan, Tiaohuayu, 36º16´N, 117º05´E, 2005-VI-7, collected by Lu Mei-Rong, Fang Fu-Ming and Li Chun.
Male: Body large size (Fig.1 a). Head large and short, shorter than pronotum. Face slightly oblique in profile. Frontal ridge widened at median ocellus (Fig.1 e). Antennae filiform, 25 segmented, mid segments of antennae 4.0 times as long as wide. Eyes globose, vertical diameter 1.4 times horizontal diameter and 1.3 times subocular furrow. Pronotum cylindrical, anterior margin angular in middle, median keel distinct, not cut by hind transverse sulcus, lateral keels absent. Length of interspace of mesosternum longer than its length of the narrowest part(Fig. 1 d), lateral lobes of metasternum separated. Tegmina shorter, reaching the hind margin of first abdominal tergite, length 2.3 times its width, covered 2/5 tympanum (Fig.1 f). Upper keel of hind femur smooth, length of hind femur 3.6 times its maximum width, the end of lower knee lobes angular. Hind tibia with 9 spines on inner and outer sides, external apical spine present. Second joint of hind tarsus shorter than first joint. Tympanum distinct, big and rotundity (Fig.1 f). Krauss’ organ washboard-like, length 1.7 times width of mid-part (Fig.1 b). Tergum of terminal abdomere with longitudinal groove in middle, furculae absent. Cercus conical, not reaching tip of epiproct, apical half part gently tapering. Subgenital plate short-tapered, apex obtuse. Ancorae of epiphallus oblique inward slightly, lower margin with high projection in the middle (Fig.1 c).
Female: Body more robust (Fig. 1 i). Vertical diameter of eyes 1.4 times horizontal diameter and 1.1 times subocular furrow. Anterior margin of pronotum with distinct acute angular in middle (Fig. 1 g). Length of interspace of mesosternum shorter than its length of the narrowest part(Fig. 1 h). Tegmina shorter, not reaching hind margin of the 1st abdominal tergite, length 2.1 times its width. Length of hind femur 3.4 times its maximum width. Cercus short-conical, not reaching end of epiproct. Length of subgenital plate shorter than width (Fig. 1 j), both sides of subgenital plate straight. Ovipositor valve slender, apex curved and acute, outer margin smooth.
Coloration: Body brown. Antennae yellowish-brown. Pronotum yellowish-brown, with a black longitudinal band along median keel. Tegmina brown. Hind femur with two black band on upper side. Hind tibia yellow, upper side blue. Abdomen yellowish-brown, with dark broad longitudinal stripe on both sides. Subgenital plate brown in male.
Measurements (mm): Length of body: ♂ 29.9−32.1, ♀ 38.3-39.6. Length of tegmina: ♂ 4.5−5.8, ♀ 5.1–5.6. Length of pronotum: ♂ 9.7−11.1, ♀ 12.3–12.5. Length of hind femur: ♂ 13.8−14.8, ♀ 17.1–17.8.
Diagnosis. The new species Haplotropis xiai sp. nov. is similar to Haplotropis brunneriana Saussure, 1888. The major differences are listed in Table 1.
