Cosmetura fenestrata Yamasaki 1983

 

몸길이는 약 8-14 ㎜이며 연한 황녹색이다. 머리는 작고 앞가슴등판이 길게 잘 발달하였다. 수컷은 성충이 되어도 날개는 매우 짧아 앞가슴등판 밑에 가려지며 암컷은 날개가 거의 보이지 않는다. 산지의 낮은 풀 위에 모여 산다. 일본에도 분포한다.

Original description:
Cosmetura fenestrata Yamasaki 1983 Mem. natn. Sci. Mus. Tokyo 16: 137, figs. 9-15.

  Very similar to the type-species of the genus. Grass-green, with a chestnut brown mesal band on the dorsal surface of body. The pronotal band is narrower than the abdominal one. Male supra-anal plate as shown in Figs. 13-15, without dorso-mesal corniform protuberance situated between the triangular latero-basal plates. Hind tibial teeth smaller in number than those of the type-species of the genus.
  Male. Head and pronotum as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, almost the same as in the preceding species. Lateral foramina of thorax (thoracic auditory spiracles) small, but a little wider than in the preceding species. Fore wings as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, with degenerated veins; stridulatory vein not so broad as in
Tettigoniopsis forcipicercus; stridulatory teeth 82 (right fore wing) and 93 (left fore wing) in number in a specimen examined. Fore and middle legs also almost the same as in the preceding species, but the auditory structure of fore tibiae is long and wide elliptical. Hind legs with 18 to 24 teeth on both the dorsal margins of tibiae.
  Abdominal end as shown in Figs. 13-15. The tenth abdominal tergite becoming wider ventro-laterally and roundly protruded ventro-posteriorly. The tenth abdominal tergite depressed between the cerci. Supra-anal plate similar in shape to that of the type-species, but it is different in the absence of dorso-mesal corniform protuberance on the dorsum in anterior half; this part becoming a concavity and making a pale fenestra; a ventro-medial protuberance at the subbasal portion wide at base, then narrowing, flat at apex, depressed antero-posteriorly; posterior half becoming wider, posterior angles round and posterior margin incised or incurved at the centre. Cerci also similar to those of the type-species, gently incurved at the apical half, with a thin triangular inner protrusion at the dorso-subbasal portion. Subgenital plate wide, becoming narrower and curled dorsally in apical third; posterior margin incurved at the inner side of styli, and roundly but weakly protruded between the incurved parts.
  Coloration. Almost the same as in the preceding species, but there are some differences. The longitudinal brown band is narrower on occiput and pronotum than on the dorsum of abdomen. Lower genual lobes of each femur black in apical half.
  Measurements (㎜). Body length from apex of fastigial cone to apex of cercus, 12.0-12.8 (12.0 in holotype); head width (extraocular distance), 2.2-2.3 (2.2); pronotal length, 4.7-4.8 (4.7); fore wing length, 2.4-2.8 (2.8); hind femoral length, 8.6-8.7 (8.7); hind tibial length, 9.5 (9.5); cerci length, 2.1-2.2 (2.2).
  Female. Unknown.
  Type material. Holotype: ♂, eastern slope of Mt. Funagata-yama, 900 m, Masuzawa, Taiwa-cho, Kurokawa-gun, Miyagi, 8. ix. 1982 (T. Yamasaki).
  Other material examined. 1♂ (in alcohol), same data as the holotype.
  Type-locality. Mt. Funagata-yama, Ou Mountain Range, Tohoku District, Honshu, Japan.
  Notes. This species is closely related to the preceding species, but is different in the shape of male supra-anal plate and the number of teeth on the dorsal margins of hind tibiae. This species lives on the leaves of broadleaved trees in the mountainous forest and occurs sympatrically with
Tettigoniopsis forcipicercus Yamasaki at the collecting sites on Mt. Funagata-yama, Ou Mountain Range. The specific name 'fenestrata' is derived from the presence of a pale fenestral concavity instead of a dorso-mesal protuberance in the anterior half of male supra-anal plate.
