Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 95). Mesobasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip (Fig. 94E). Metabasisternum anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally with blunt pit forming an angle of 90° (Fig. 94E). Apex of cercus with trapezoidal projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color (Fig. 94K).
Redescription. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolaterally acuminate tip (Fig. 94E). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally with blunt pit forming an angle of 90° (Fig. 94E).
Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 95). Left stridulatory file slightly curved; basal and apical teeth minor (Fig. 96A). Total file length of 4 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and total of 132 teeth. Right stridulatory with curved basal half and straight apical half; basal half teeth larger and more spaced apart (Fig. 96B). Total length file of 2.7 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 120 teeth.
Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length (Fig. 94H).
Abdomen. Cercus curved inwards, with the apex expanded (Figs. 94I–K). Apex of cercus with trapezoidal projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color (Fig. 94K). Stylus small and rectangular (Fig. 94I).
Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles reniform (Figs. 97A–D). Upper folds of ventral lobe wide, rounded and not connected (Figs. 97A–B). Titillator process large and asymmetric (Figs. 97A–D). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, rounded and exceeding the dorsal lobe (Figs. 97A–B). Dorsal lobes anteriorly convex, anterolaterally with two small projections, laterally straight and posteriorly rounded (Figs. 97A–D). Dorsal folds wide, elongated and asymmetric (Figs. 97C–D).
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen (Fig. 94). Body and tegmina light brown. Eyes light brown with dark brown spots.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution. Brazil: Goiás and Paraíba (Fig. 98).
