Type material. HOlOtype, male, Xianrending, Tianmushan , Zhejiang, 13 Sep. 2012, cOll. unknOwn.

Description. Male. BOdy medium-sized. Fastigium verticis narrOw, acute-angular in dOrsal view, dOrsally furrOwed, separated frOm fastigium frOntis by a gap. PrOnOtum with disc flattened in pOsteriOr area, lateral angles appreciably cOnstricted befOre the middle, then gradually expanding backwards, median carina distinct, anteriOr margin cOncave, pOsteriOr margin rOunded, principle transverse sulcus V-shaped; lateral lObes slightly lOnger than deep, anteriOr margin slightly cOncave, pOsteriOr margin rOunded, ventral margin descending pOsteriOrly; humeral sinus distinct.

Tegmina surpassing apices Of pOstfemOra, brOader than the length Of prOnOtum, apices brOadly rOunded; radius sectOr branching in the middle Of tegmina and with 3 branches at distal part Of Rs, withOut Other stems behind Rs On radius ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 F); stridulatOry areas Of left and right tegmina with internal margin mOderately prOjecting, prOximal part Of MP+CuIP vein behind stridulatOry area curved Outwards, width Of the area Of left tegmen abOut 2.9 mm ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E–F); stridulatOry file 3.0 mm lOng, curved in basal quarter, with abOut 35 widely spaced teeth ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C).

All femOra dOrsally smOOth, with a lOngitudinal grOOve On ventral surface; prOcOxae unarmed; prOfemOra with 7 ventrO-internal spines and 4 ventrO-exteral spines; prOtibiae with 3–4 dOrsO-external spines, 7–9 ventrO-internal and 7–10 ventrO-external spines; mesOfemOra with 9–10 ventrO-internal spines; mesOtibiae with 7–10 dOrsOinternal and 5–7 dOrsO-external spines, 11–12 ventrO-internal and 15–17 ventrO-external spines; pOstfemOra with 1–2 ventrO-external spines; pOsttibiae with numerOus spines On dOrsal and ventral surfaces. All genicular lObes with 2 spines.

Tenth abdOminal tergite with pOsteriOr margin truncate. EpiprOct lOng tOngue-shaped, apex narrOwly rOunded; cerci lOng, cOnical, mOderately curved inwards, slightly widened at subapex, with a shOrt apical spine ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B, E); subgenital plate lOng, basal area brOad, narrOwest in central area, distal area widened slightly, mOderately curved upwards in the middle, apical fifth lOngitudinally split intO twO Obtuse lObes ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 A, D); genitalia with a lOng, clavifOrm, median sclerite, prOtruding backwards, spinOus On dOrsal surface, which surrOunded by membranOus lateral lObes ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 C, E).

Female. UnknOwn.

Color. Specimen preserved in alcOhOl (slightly faded). Venter Of scapus, eyes and Occiput brOwn, disc Of prOnOtum and tegmina with sOme brOwn dOts; tegmina with a dark brOwn mark in the base; abdOmen with red dOts On lateral surfaces.

Measurements (mm). Male. BOdy: 18.6; bOdy with wings: 45.2; prOnOtum: 4.6; tegmen length: 34.2; tegmen width: 8.3; prOfemur: 8.1; mesOfemur: 11.5; pOstfemur: 25.3.

Etymology. The new species is named fOr the male cerci with a shOrt apical spine.

Remarks. The new species is recOgnizable by the male cerci slightly widened at subapex and with a shOrt apical spine; subgenital plate with apical fifth narrOwly split intO twO Obtuse lObes; genitalia with a lOng, clavifOrm median sclerite, prOtruding backwards, spinOus On dOrsal surface, which surrOunded by membranOus lateral lObes.

Distribution. China ( Zhejiang).
