Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 85). Mesobasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° (Fig. 84E). Metabasisternum anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° (Fig. 84E). Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and lateral spine, both with narrow with a dark brown color (Fig. 84K).
Description. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally and laterally convex and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° (Fig. 84E). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° (Fig. 84E).
Wings. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin (Fig. 85). Left stridulatory file curved; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart (Fig. 86A). Total file length of 3.2 mm, greater vein width of 0.5 mm and total of 49 teeth. Right stridulatory slightly sinuose; basal teeth smaller and more spaced apart (Fig. 86B). Total length file of 3 mm, widest vein of 0.1 mm and total of 52 teeth.
Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 1/2 of the total femur length (Fig. 84H).
Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with the apex expanded (Figs. 84I–K).Apex of cercus with rectangular projection and lateral spine, both with narrow with a dark brown color (Fig. 84K). Stylus small and rectangular (Fig. 84I).
Internal male genitalia. Ejaculatory vesicles small and reniform (Figs. 87A–D). Upper folds of ventral lobe small, bilobed and not connected (Figs. 87A–B). Titillator process trapezoidal (Figs. 87A–D). Lower folds of ventral lobe large, posteriorly straight and exceeding the dorsal lobe (Figs. 87A–B). Dorsal lobes anteriorly with triangular projection, laterally slightly convex and posteriorly triangular (Figs. 87A–D). Dorsal folds elongated, wide and with rounded apex (Figs. 87C–D).
Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimen (Fig. 84). Body yellowish-brown with greenish regions. Eyes brown.
Female. Unknown.
