Kaindiagraecia Ingrisch 2023, gen. nov.

Description

Kaindiagraecia gen. nov.

Type species: Kaindiagraecia bilobata sp. nov.

Diagnosis. The new genus is based on two peculiar characters: (1) the prolonged stridulatory area of the male tegmen although the wings are reduced to the stridulatory apparatus, and (2) the shape of the male pronotum in which the ventral-apical margin, behind the ventral lobe, runs down a second time to the level of the first ventral lobe before it runs obliquely up to the dorsal apical margin, thus giving the lateral lobes a bilobate appearance. Face broad oval, not elongate as in Papucera. Prosternum with two spines of medium length. Male subgenital plate with apical-lateral angles flattened.

Etymology. The new genus is named after the type locality, Mt Kaindi.
