2. Pseudokuzicus (Pseudokuzicus) spinus sp. nov.

(Figs. 1–4, 11–12)

Male (figs. 1–4, 11). Body small. Fastigium of vertex conical, apex obtuse, narrower than scape of antenna, with thin longitudinal furrow. Compound eyes oval, obviously protruding. Apical segment of maxillary palpi slightly longer than subapical one, apex faintly enlarged. Pronotum short, anterior margin straight, posterior margin angularly rounded, metazona flattened, lateral lobe longer than high (length 2.3mm, height 1.6mm), humeral sinus absent. Thoracic auditory spiracle large. Anterior coxa with a spine, anterior tibia with 2–3 spines and 1 apical spur at both ventral sides, tibial tympana free on both sides; medial tibia with 2–3 spines and 1 apical spurs on both ventral margins; posterior tibia with 20–23 spines on both dorsal margins, and with a pair of apical spurs on ventral and dorsal margins separately. Tegmina abbreviated, not reaching apex of posterior femur, or slightly exceeding the base of posterior tibia, narrow and long, apex angularly blunted, most part of stridulatory area of tegmina covered by pronotum, hind wings shorter than tegmina. Tenth abdominal tergite broad, with a pair of long central processes, apices acute. Cerci thin and long, cylindraceous, curved inwards, apex faintly separated into dorsal and ventral lobes, dorsal lobe moderately shorter than ventral one. Titillator straight elongate spine-shaped, apex thin and acute. Subgenital plate broad, posterior margin with triangular indentation. Styli long, acute.

Female (fig. 12). Cerci conical, apex acute. Ovipositor stout at base, moderately curved upwards in apical half, ventral valvulae slightly longer than dorsal one, apices with hook. Subgenital plate large, posterior margin with small medial projection.

Coloration. Body multicolor (see figs A–B). Frons, clypeus, labrum and posterior margin of gena blackish brown. Fastigium of vertex with a pair of indistinct longitudinal blackish brown stripes, inner raised margin of antennal foveola with black edge. Several basal segments of antenna brown, the others with some brown ring stripes. Pronotum light yellow, metazona with a pair of brown spots, lateral lobe brown. Tegmina brown, with some irregularly dark brown spots. Tibial tympana area dark brown, spines of anterior tibia brown. Basal part of posterior femora brown, with two irregularly dark brown spots, dorsal spines on posterior tibiae blackish brown. Apical and subapical tarsi of anterior and posterior legs brown. Lateral sides of abdominal tergites and processes of tenth abdominal tergite blackish brown. Cerci yellowish white in basal half, blackish brown in distal half.

Type materials. Holotype: male, China: Mountain Simian, Jiangjin, Chongqing, 31. July 2003, collected by Wang Jian-Feng. Paratype: 1 male, Mountain Jinfo, Nanchuan, Chongqing, 24. July 2003, collected by Yuan Cai-Xia and Liu Yu-Shuang; 1 male, Mountains Jinfo, Nanchuan, Chongqing, 24. July 2003, collected by Wang Jian-Feng; 1 male, 2 females, data same as holotype.

Measurements (in mm). Length of body: ♂ 12.0–13.0, ♀ 12.0; Length of pronotum: ♂ 3.5–4.0, ♀ 4.5; Length of tegmina: ♂ 12.0–13.0, ♀ 13.0; Length of hind femora: ♂ 12.0, ♀ 12.0–13.0; Length of ovipositor: 7.5– 8.0.

Etymology. The specific name derives from titillator morphology.

Diagnosis. This new species is similar to P. (P) pieli (Tinkham, 1943) and P. (P) acinacus sp. nov., but it differs in: (1) Ventral lobes of male cerci obviously shorter than dorsal ones; (2) Titillator long spine-shaped, apices acute; (3) Styli long, pointed.
