Original description: Parapodisma setouchiensis Inoue 1979

  ♂. Body of average size, comparatively stout. Head and pronotum yellowish green or olive-green, with a pair of blackish lateral stripes from behind eye to anterior part of pronotum. Frons pale yellowish green. Antennae pale brown. Eyes brown or reddish brown. Tegmina pale brown. Wings light brown. Tergites pale greenish brown. Anterior and middle legs pale yellowish green. Hind legs with femora which are dark olive-green dorsally and pinkish ventrally, black genicules and pale bluish green tibiae with black spines. Subgenital plate black in greater part. Mesosternum and metasternum pale bluish brown or yellowish brown. Abdomen pale yellowish brown ventrally.
  Head short, about 0.6 times as long as pronotum. Frontal ridge furnished with a wide and shallow grrove at middle, parallel-sided or slightly constricted at fastigium and beneath the median ocellus. Vertex slightly depressed. Fastigium provided with a longitudinal median groove which is narrow and shallow. Width of vertex between eyes a little less than the width of frontal ridge between antennae. Eyes large, oval, of vertical diameter 1.3 times as long as horizontal diameter and 1.7 times as long as subocular groove. Antennae thin, 22 to 24-jointed, 1.3 times as long as head and pronotum together. Pronotum subcylindrical, with 3 transverse grooves, of which 2 anterior grooves are somewhat narrow and shallow and sometimes faint near the middle and with a median longitudinal carina which is indistinct in prozona and distinct in metazona; prozona finely and sparsely punctate, comparatively short, about 1.4 times as long as metazona; metazona slightly flattened, densely punctate, with the posterior margin which is slightly angulate at middle; lateral carina absent. Tegmina comparatively large, elliptical, about 2.1 times as long as wide, overlapped each other on dorsal surface, narrowly rounded at apex, usually reaching the posterior margin of the 3rd tergite. Wings comparatively large, about 0.8 times as long as tegmina. Hind femora slender, long, about 4.2 times as long as width, the dorsal carina smooth, each with a distinctly pointed apical spine. Hind tibia each with 9 to 11 marginal spines. Last abdominal tergite medially split, without lobules (furculae). Prosternal process conical, pointed at apex. Mesosternal lobes slightly transverse, the interlobar space slightly compressed medially, as long as or slightly longer than wide. Metasternum wide, with the interlobar space which is longitudinal, slightly narrower than the width of frontal ridge, and strongly compressed in posterior part.
  Supra-anal plate nearly triangular, with a wide, shallow median groove which is medianly constricted, and with two pairs of small tubercles on the lateral margins near base and apex. Cerci elongate-triangular, about two times as long as its greatest width, wide at base, apically convergent in the basal one-half to two-thirds and then not or slightly divergent, with apices which are slightly compressed, distinctly angulated below and sometimes curved inwards, and are nearly as long as supra-anal plate. Subgenital plate rather long, about 0.4 times as long as pronotum, with an elongate process which is prolonged from apex towards base in the dorsal edge. Anterior edge of epiphallus almost straight between ancorae, lophi oblique, like a plate. Apical lobes of penis long and sigmoid.
  ♀. Body larger than male. Width of vertex between eyes as wide as or slightly wider than frontal ridge between antennae. Vertical diameter of eyes about 1.4 times as long as horizontal diameter and 1.5 times as long as subocular groove. Antennae almost as long as head and pronotum together. Pronotum slightly and gradually widened towards posterior margin. Tegmina smaller than in male, about two times as long as wide, overlapped or slightly separated from each other on dorsal surface, usually reaching the middle of third tergite. Hind tibia with 9-12 outer spines, and 10-12 inner spines. Mesosternal lobes transverse, wider than in male, the interlobar space nearly rectangular or slightly transverse. Metasternum wider than in male, the interlobar space broader than the frontal ridge.
  Supra-anal plate elongated triangular, with a longitudinal median depression at base and a very slightly arcuate transverse groove a little anterior to the middle. Cerci conical, laterally compressed, straight, pointed at apices, not reaching the apex of supra-anal plate, 1.3 times as long as its greatest width. Subgenital plate elongated, with a distinct triangular tubercle in the posterior edge, 0.5 times as long as pronotum. Ovipositor valve short, straight, with a pointed apex, irregularly serrate along the outer dorsal edge.
  Measurements in milimeter (20 examples in both sexes). Body length, ♂ 24.9-28.0 (26.3 in average), ♀ 32.4-38.0 (35.4); antennal length, ♂ 11.0-14.5 (12.8), ♀ 11.8-14.2 (13.0); pronotal length, ♂ 6.7-7.1 (6.5), ♀ 7.9-8.8 (8.3); tegminal length, ♂ 7.6-9.0 (8.0), ♀ 8.8-10.9 (9.7); hind femoral length, ♂ 13.4-15.2 (14.4), ♀ 16.5-19.2 (18.2).
  Type series. Holotype: ♂, allotype: ♀, paratypes: 20♂♂, 20♀♀, Ichi (200 m alt.), Mitsugi-cho, Mitsugi-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture, VIII-3 1974, M. Inoue leg.
  The holotype, allotype and several paratypes are preserved in the collection of Entomological Laboratory, College of Agriculture, Ehime University, and the remaining specimens are put in my collection.
  Distribution. Sanyo district of Honshu and northern half of Shikoku district, Japan.
  Notes. This new species resembles
P. dairisama in the general appearance, but the former differs from the latter in the shape and size of tegmina, cerci, and of subgenitaln plates. Although closely related also to another new species, P. niihamensis n. sp. described later, it may be identified by the differences stated in the description.
