Description. Male. Body rather small. Vertex of head divided into conical tubercles, slightly separated (Fig. 1). Legs elongate and slender; fore femora about 1.6–1.8 times as long as the pronotum, beneath unarmed, internal knee lobe with a small spine, genicular lobe with 1 elongate movable spur; fore tibiae beneath with 2 external and 1 internal spur(s). Mid femora with an elongate movable spur on the internal and genicular lobe, beneath unarmed; mid tibiae beneath with 1 external spur and 1 internal spur. Hind femora beneath with 1–3 inter spines and without outer spines; hind tibiae above with 44–47 outer and inter spines respectively, arrange in groups, inner subapical spur of hind tibiae shorter than hind metatarsus (Fig. 2). Hind metatarsus with bristles beneath and an apical spine above. Male paraproct specialized, distinctly longer than epiproct (Fig. 3). Dorsolateral lobes of male genitalia with apex distinctly sclerotized and epiphallus inverted-trapezoid (Figs. 4–5).

Female. Subgenital plate nearly triangular and apically acutely pointed (Fig. 6). Ovipositor longer than the half of hind femora.

Measurements. (length in mm) Body ♂ 7.0–11.0, ♀ 7.5–12.0; pronotum ♂ 3.0–5.0, ♀ 4.5–5.5; fore femora ♂ 5.5–8.0, ♀ 6.5–8.0; hind femora ♂ 11.5–12.5, ♀ 12.0–18.0; ovipositor 7.5–11.0.

Material examined. Holotype, 1♂, Xitianmu Mountain, Zhejiang, alt. 350m, 2009. X.14-15, collected by Liu Xian-Wei et al.; paratype, 9♂♂, same data as holotype; 16♀♀, same data as holotype.
