Figures 2, 6–10  
 Diagnosis. Tegmina with distal region concave (Fig. 7). Fourth branch of vein CuA and vein MP connected by transverse vein (Fig. 7). First branch of vein CuA associated with hyaline regions with dark bands lined up (Fig. 7). Lateral lobes of mesobasisternum forming an acute posterolateral angle of 50° straight (Fig. 6E). Apex of cercus with rounded expansion and small spiny (Fig. 6K).   
 Description. Holotype Male.   
 Thorax. Lateral lobes of mesobasisternum anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming an acute posterolateral angle of 50° straight (Fig. 6E). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight and laterally with two small convex projections (Fig. 6E).   
 Wings. Tegmina wide, posterior margin and distal region convex (Fig. 7). MA with two branches (Fig. 7).   
First branch of the CuA vein with hyaline region associated with small circular patches grouped, forming black stripes aligned laterally on both sides of the branch; other branches of CuA and MP with narrow hyaline region also with several small circular spots, forming asymmetrical spots (Fig. 7). Fourth branch of vein CuA and vein MP connected by transverse vein (Fig. 7). Vein CuA not connected with vein MP (Fig. 7).  
Total length of left stridulatory file 2 mm, greater vein width of 0.4 mm and a total of 49 teeth. Right stridulatory file slightly curved, with apex region concave (Fig. 8B). Total length file of 1.8 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 51 teeth. Teeth rectangular, narrow and far apart; teeth basal minor; in basal half larger and more widely spaced (Figs. 8A–B).

 Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicle reniform (Figs. 9A–D). Upper fold of ventral lobe large, elongated, asymetrical and not connected (Figs. 9A–B). Titillator process large and asymetrical (Figs. 9A–D). Lower fold of ventral lobe large, posteriorly convex and exceeding the dorsal lobe (Figs. 9A–B). Dorsal lobe anteriorly with median convex projection, laterally with two long and acuminated projections, posteriorly convex (Figs. 9A–D). Dorsal fold elongated and narrow (Figs. 9C–D).   
 Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen (Fig. 6). Body yellowish-green. Eyes brown.
