D i a g n o s i s: Small, dark brown animals, the female of nymph-like habitus. Legs with lighter coloration. Frons and genae smooth, with only very fine leather-lik sculpturation, without lateral edges. Antennae dark brown, with widely separated light rings. Pronotum almost smooth, in pro- and mesozone very shallowly and indistinctly punctate, with 6 blurred, incomplete, partly merging blackish longitudinal stripes, which continue on the rear margin, thus appearing mottled black; front margin almost entirely black; ventral margin of side lobes straight, ascending caudally. Fore and hind tegmina in female reduced to small oval lobes, hind wings overlapping the distal costal margin of the tegmina. Legs short. Forefemora with 1 minute spinule. Mid femora entirely unarmed, hind femora with 4 small spines. All genicular lobes broadly rounded and unarmed. Mid tibiae dorsally unarmed. Hind tibiae on dorsal outer edge distally with 1-2, on inner edge with 6 spines in both apical thirds. Rear margin of female end tergite in the middle slightly downcurved. Supra-anal plate almost semi-circular. Female subgenital plate pointed triangular, terminally not incised. Ovipositor relatively broad, roughed, without transverse folds, the dorsal margin straight, the ventral margin fairly strongly upcurved. Female body length 18 mm, pronotum 5 mm, tegmina 1.8 mm, fore femora 6 mm, hind femora 11mm, ovipositor 10.5 mm, width 2.6 mm.
