Figures 9–12 View FIGURE 9 View FIGURE 10 View FIGURE 11 View FIGURE 12

Diagnosis. Branches of MP vein forming pentagonal cell ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). First branch of MP vein and third branch of CuA vein connected by two transverse veins, forming a narrow pentagonal cell ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). First branch of MP vein and third branch of CuA vein connected by two transverse veins ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). Lateral lobe of mesobasisternum laterally concave ( Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 ). Lateral lobe of metabasisternum laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 ).

Description. Holotype Male.

Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly convex; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally concave, posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally and posteriorly straight, posterolaterally forming an angle of 120° ( Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 ).

Wings. Branches of the bifurcated MP and MA veins close to the tegmina margin ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). Vein MA with three main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). First branch of the MA vein and second branch of the MP vein connected by transverse vein ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ). Left stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half ( Fig. 11A View FIGURE 11 ). Total file length of 3 mm, greater vein width of 0.2 mm and total of 59 teeth. Rigth stridulatory file with curved basal half and straight apical half ( Fig. 11B View FIGURE 11 ). Total length file of 2.7 mm, widest vein of 0.2 mm and total of 51 teeth. Teeth of basal half smaller and more spaced apart; apical half teeth larger and close together ( Figs. 11A–B View FIGURE 11 ).

Legs. Hind femur with expanded region equivalent to 2/3 of the total femur length ( Fig. 9H View FIGURE 9 ).

Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved inwards, with slender apical half ( Fig. 9J View FIGURE 9 ). Apex of cercus with bilobed projection and small lateral spine, with a dark brown color ( Fig. 9K View FIGURE 9 ). Subgenital plate with apex bifurcated between the base of the stylus, with concave recess ( Fig. 9I View FIGURE 9 ). Stylus small and rectangular ( Fig. 9I View FIGURE 9 ).

Internal male genitalia. Not examined.

Coloration. Based on photos of preserved specimens ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 ). General color of the body greenish yellow. Eyes brown. Tegmina with Cu and M branch region with small white circular spots. Female. Unknown. Etymology. The epithet atlantica referring to the biome of origin of the species, the Atlantic Rain Forest . Distribution. Brazil: Bahia ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). Type material. Holotype ♂. BRASIL, Bahia, Cachoeira, Fazenda Vila Rial, 14°36'23S – 38°53'47”W, 200 m, 14.v.2007, J.A. Rafael & F.F. Xavier F°, luz ( INPA). Measurements (mm).
