Sphagniana monticola (Kim and Kim 2001)

 

몸길이는 약 16-17.7 ㎜로 작은 편이며 흑갈색이다. 겹눈 아래에서 뺨, 입틀 주변으로 이어지는 특징적인 흑색 띠무늬가 있다. 앞날개는 갈색이며 복부 끝에 도달하지 않으나 넓적하게 배를 덮는다. 한국의 고산지대 풀밭에서 드물게 발견된다.

Notch closed between fastigia of vertex and frons. Antenna as long as about 1.5 times of body length. Pronotum with disc narrowed anteriorly. Median carina distinct in metazona, lateral carina mostly indicated. V-shaped sulcus very clear, separated. Lateral lobe of pronotum round at anterior angle. Posterior margin oblique, slightly sinuate. Mesopterous. tegmina almost covering abdomen very broadly, but not surpassing beyond abdominal end. Tegminal apex truncate widely with very weak concave or not. Left stridulatory files of CuP vein with about 75 teeth. Right speculum of tegmen large subquadrate. Prosternum unarmed. Fore coxal process small but clear. Fore tibia with 3 dorso-external spines and 6 pairs of ventral spines. Middle tibia with 2 external, 4 internal spines in dorsum and 6 pairs of ventral spines. Hind tibia with 25 external, 22 internal spines in dorsum and 8-9 pairs of ventral spines and 4 apical spurs distally. All femora without any spines or spinules. Plantular of hind tarsus well developed, as long as 0.5 times of basitarsus. Last abdominal tergite forming a pair of small triangular lobes with a small V-shaped incision in median. Cercus very short and thick, flattened dorso-ventrally, not projecting beyond subgenital plate. Base almost covered by last abdominal plate. Internal tooth of cercus located at base, very short and slender relatively to apical part. Apex hook-like incurved. Subgenital plate extending beyond cerci, caudal margin with V-shaped median incision. Median and lateral carinae well developed. Style simple, as long as 4 times of basal width. Titillators large developed comparatively to body size, almost straight apical portion with median elevation dorsally. Each sides of apical portion with denticles, apex sharply pointed. Basal portion shorter than apical one.
