Description
Description. Male. Body dark reddish brown, darker or black on caudal segments (Fig. 1). Eyes brown and ocelli yellowish. Antennae, upper lip, mandible, labial palpi and maxillary palpomeres brown. Legs reddish brown with coxae and trochanter brown. Abdominal sternites reddish brown with the middle of anterior three sternites brown (Fig. 2). Vertex and face punctate, the former exposed. Anterior margin of pronotum smooth, or weakly concave; anterior half of pronotum slightly depressed, the floor punctured, denser laterally; posterior half punctured sparsely and almost evenly, without tubercles (Fig. 21). Tegmina and wings well developed, extending beyond end of abdomen, sometimes mutilated (Fig. 1). Radius of tegmen with a long apical posterior branch, which has accessory branches, or apical posterior branch absent; median vein is simple or branched (Figs 80-81). Radial vein of hind wing with posterior branch medially; median vein branched terminally or not; cubitus with 4-5 complete and 5-6 incomplete branches (Figs 89-90). Anterior ventral margin of front femur with 1-3 spines and a small distal spine, hind margin with a large distal spine. Abdominal tergites punctured, the punctures denser laterally and caudally; T5-T7 with gradually increased holes on the anterolateral corners, minute sparse hairs sometimes visible on the surfaces; caudal angles of T6 weakly explored; lateral margins of T7 slightly uneven, caudal angles oblique, large and tapering (Fig. 22). Abdominal sternites densely punctured, the punctations larger and denser caudally; hind margin of the last sternite entire (Fig. 23). Supra-anal plate densely punctured, coarser than abdominal tergites; hind margin with 5 subacute and symmetrically slender teeth, which are deflexed and widely spaced, the largest one situated in the middle; teeth with margin smooth or small acute spines between the teeth, sometimes teeth fused together; lateral angles larger than the medial tooth. Cercus without setae dorsally, ventral surface convex with dense hairs (Fig. 24). Anterior margin of subgenital plate concave, anterolateral corners rounded; lateral margins concave (Fig. 25). Male genitalia. Genital phallomere L1 reduced, only a short lobe remaining, or absent (Fig. 26); L2d tapering at apex, with a relatively large lateral lobe (Fig. 27); R2 weakly curved, hook-shaped (Fig. 28). Female. Essentially similar to male, difficult to distinguish externally. Nymph. Body yellowish brown and eyes dark. Hind margin of the supra-anal plate with 5 contiguous and triangular teeth, sometimes separated by tiny tines. Remaining external morphological features are characteristic of the adult (Figs 3-4).
Etymology
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word "quinquedentatus", referring to the posterior margin of supra-anal plate with 5 distinct and slender teeth.
