short, pterotorma rounded, dexiotorma elongate. Mandibles asymmetrical, dark, surface rugose and punctate. Left mandible ( Fig. 2d View Fig ), incisor with three teeth; dorsal surface ( Fig. 2a View Fig ) with 2 longitudinal lateral furrows, 7 dorsolateral setae, molar with 3 tubercles, distal tubercle bigger than other ones, acia indistinct, brustia with 11 setae. Right mandible ( Fig. 2c View Fig ), incisor with 2 teeth; dorsal surface ( Fig. 2b View Fig ) with 2 longitudinal lateral furrows, 6 dorsolateral setae, molar with 3 tubercles, basal tubercle bigger than other ones, brustia with 3 setae. Stridulatory area oval, formed by 24–28 transverse carinae, with a group of setae beside it. Maxillae symmetrical ( Fig. 2e–h View Fig ), mala setose and with a weak dorsal separation between galea and lacinia. Galea with a conical uncus, dorsal surface with 15 setae and a longitudinal row of 6 robust spine-like setae, ventral surface with 13 setae. Lacinia with a truncate uncus, dorsal surface with 32 setae. Palpus 4-segmented: III with 1 seta, IV with several minute apical sensilla. Stipe with stridulatory area bearing a longitudinal row of 7 short and truncate teeth. Labium, each side of submentum with 3–4 setae. Each side of mentum with 1 long posteromedial seta. Prementum with 10 apical setae and 2 posterolateral setae on each side; each side of ligula ( Fig. 2i View Fig ) with 15–19 posterior spine-like setae and 9 lateral long setae, anteromedial area with 6 sensilla, posterior area with 3 sensilla on each side, right side with 1 lateral sensillum. Hypopharynx with hypopharyngeal sclerome asymmetrical with right tooth truncate and short, right lobe with 4 setae in anterior margin, left lobe with 8 setae in anterior margin and a row of 27 setae. Antennae with 4 antennomers, distal article ( Fig. 1c and d View Fig ) with 10 dorsal sensorial spots and 8 ventral sensorial spots. Thorax: Prothorax with tergum and laterotergites pubescent, simply lobed. Thoracic spiracle ( Fig. 1h–i View Fig ) with C-shaped respiratory plate, distance of respiratory plate arms shorter than the dorso-ventral diameter of bulla. Meso- and metathorax dorsally and ventrally with a transverse row of setae. Legs: Surface densely setose, all pretarsi ( Fig. 1e–g View Fig ) with two long setae, metapretarsus relatively reduced and weakly sclerotized. Abdomen: 10-segmented, segments I–VI with 3 dorsal minutely pubescent lobes, some setae short or long, segments VII–X simply lobed, almost smooth, segments IX–X enlarged. Spiracles ( Fig. 1h View Fig ) smaller than thoracic, C-shaped. Raster ( Fig. 1j View Fig ), each palidium with about 25 acute pali, each side of tegillar area with more than 190 spine-like setae. Anal
