암컷 (Female)

Original description:
Pseudorhynchus japonicus Shiraki 1930 Trans. Nat. Hist. Soc. Formosa 20: 341.

  ♂. Small. Fastigium of vertex hardly reaching the tip of second antennal joint, sharply pointed, with 3 somewhat distinct carinae, of which the 1ower one is elevated spine-like at the 1ower end. Fastigium of frons very low, but distinctly separated from that of vertex. Face strongly oblique, more or less convex. Eyes very small, shorter than the first antennal joint, when seen from side somewhat round but the front margin nearly straight. Apical joint of maxillary palpi as long as the second and third joints together, slender with the tip strongly swollen.
  Pronotum rather short, gradually broadened behind, nearly horizontal, with the front margin straight and hind margin slightly convex; lateral carinae straight, somewhat distinct; main sulcus far front the middle, nearly straight, the second sulcus in the middle very short and V-shaped, the last sulcus very inconspicuous and slightly curved hehind, a short longitudinal sulcus between the first and second sulcus rather distinct. Lateral lobes much broader than long, with the front margin straight and hind margin S-like curved, the lower margin being horizontal with the front angle obtusely rounded. Prosternal spines simple. Mesosternal lobes rather broad, truncate; metasternnal lobes broader than long; nearly triangular.
  Abdomen reaching the end of abdomen. Last abdominal tetgite transverse, with two wide distant longitudinal carinae which are ending at the tip of somewhat triangular latera1 lobes, the later being not sharply pointed. Subgenital plate short, with two triangular apical lobes which are provided rather long styli. Cerci of ma1e very broad, the interior furrow very broad and deep, when seen from outer side about 1.5 times as long as wide; apical spine well-developed and right-angularily curved inwards but slightly below; basal process very long, right angularily directing towards the dorsum, with the inner surface deeply furrowed longitudinally.
  Elytra elongate, narrow, with the apical margin narrowly rounded; tympanal mirror subquadrate, a little longer than basal broad, with the hind margin very slightly convex. Wings not reaching the apex of elytra.
  Legs short; coxal spine long, hardly reaching the tip of the trochanter, moderately curved; spines of legs moderate in size.
  General coloration pale green; lateral carinae of pronotum and thick portion of cubital vein yellowish, the color extending the inner margin of eyes; under side of antennae black, excepting the two basal joints unicolor.
  Body length, 40-48, pronotum 12-13, elytra 48-50, hind femora 21-22 ㎜; width of hind margin of pronotum 7.5-8 ㎜.
  Two males from Nakano, Tokyo.
  By much shorter pronotum the new species is conspicuously distinguished from antennalis Stal. I have seen Japanese specimen, which has been identified by Rettentbacher as antennalis Stal, in the Hof-Museum, Wien, and found that Japanese species is quite distinct one as well as that antennalis may be lived only in Philippines.
