Posterior margin of metanotum mesally produced. Tegmina and wings well developed. Posterior branch of R not reaching end of tegmina. Hind metatarsus longer than remaining tarsomeres combined. First abdominal tergite with visible gland. Surface of supra-anal plate with small, sparse spines; median of hind margin incised; middle part of ventral surface with transverse projection, covered with small spines. Hind margin of subgenital plate slightly concave. L 1 weakly sclerotized. L 2 with long ventral spine pointing inward. L 3 not bifurcate. L 4 C lanceolate, with blade-like process. Left margin of R 1 H extending into two spines; ventral surface with a spine. Right ventral surface of R 1 G with a finger-like spine and another long spine.</p><p>This species can be easily distinguished from congeners by the following characters: 1) ventral surface of supra-anal plate with transverse, striate projection covered with small spines (Fig. 3 F); 2) acute blade-like process present near basal right margin of L 4 C (Figs 3 H, 7 A); 3) L 4 C lanceolate and not curved (differs from <i>U. flavus</i> and <i>U. concavus</i>) (Figs 4 H, 7 A); 4) R 1 H broad (differs from <i>U. longispinus</i>) (Figs 3 H, 7 B).</p><p><b>Redescription.</b></p><p><i>Colouration</i>. Body black, except: ocelli white, antennae brown, tegmina reddish brown, tarsi blackish brown.</p><p><b>Male</b>. Total length: 27.2–27.5 mm; body length: 18.5 mm; pronotum length × width: 4.8–5.2 × 5.7–6.1 mm; tegmina length × width: 22.0–22.3 × 6.6–6.7 mm. <i>Head and thorax</i>. Vertex exposed; interocular space almost equal to interocellar space, shorter than interantennal space (Fig. 3 B). Pronotum subelliptical, with anterior margin nearly straight and hind margin convex, surface smooth, widest point posterior to midpoint (Fig. 3 A). Posterior margin of metanotum mesally produced; posterior-lateral angles with symmetrical projections (Fig. 8 A). Tegmina and wings well developed, surpassing tip of abdomen (Figs 1 D, 1 E, 3 D, 3 E). Tegmina ScP slightly thickened; posterior branch of R not reaching end of tegmina (Fig. 3 D). Front femur of type A 2 (Fig. 3 C). Hind metatarsus longer than remaining tarsomeres combined; metatarsi with two rows of spinules ventrally and one spinule on each side of pulvillus. Pulvilli present; claws symmetrical and unspecialized; arolium medium-sized. <i>Abdomen</i>. First abdominal tergite gland with downward-pointing setae (Fig. 8 A). Lateral margin of supra-anal plate contracted inward near distal part and less sclerotized at margin; surface with small, sparse spines; middle of hind margin incised and divided into two subobtusely triangular lobules; middle part of ventral surface with transverse projection, covered with small spines (Fig. 3 F). Paraprocts long and strip-like. Cerci strong and symmetrical. Subgenital plate overall nearly square; hind margin of interstylar slightly concave (Fig. 3 G). <i>Genitalia</i> (Figs 3 H, 3 I, 7 A, 7 B, 8 E). L 1 weakly sclerotized, bearing pubescence (Fig. 7 A). L 2 irregular, with long, ventral, inward-pointing spine (Fig. 7 A). L 3 unciform and well sclerotized, not bifurcate (Figs 7 A, 8 E). L 4 C lanceolate, with distally acute, blade-like process near inner basal margin (Fig. 7 A). R 1 H broad and irregular; left margin extending into two spines; ventral surface with a spine (Fig. 7 B). R 1 G well sclerotized; right side of ventral surface with a finger-like spine and another long spine (Figs 3 I, 7 B).</p><p><b>Female</b> (Figs 1 F, 1 G, 8 I, 9 A). Body broader than male. Total length: 23.1–28.1 mm; body length: 20.5–25.0 mm; pronotum length × width: 6.0–6.4 × 7.4–8.0 mm; tegmina length × width: 17.7–23.2 × 6.3–8.1 mm. <i>Head and thorax</i>. Same as in male. <i>Abdomen</i>. Hind margin of tergum X with median invagination and a membrane line inside (Fig. 9 A). <i>Genitalia</i> (Fig. 9 A). First valve sclerotized, with small, dense punctures, and basal part with microtrichia; left and right valve asymmetrical; right margin of left valve with a rhombic projection. First valvifer broad and slightly curved. Second valve strip-like. Third valve large and wrapping around second valve. Posterior lobes of valvifer II less sclerotized and outer margin connected to irregular laterosternite IX. Paratergites long, strip-like, and slender. Anterior arch nearly rectangular and outer and hind margin with small, dense spines. Spermathecal plate somewhat fan-shaped, connected to basivalvula by membrane. Spermathecal opening located at middle of basivalvula. Spermatheca branched into a leading duct and branching duct, with duct short and end capsule rod-shaped (Fig. 8 I). Basivalvulae (bsv.) nearly rectangular, asymmetrical, with microtrichia. Laterosternal shelf (ltst. sh.) symmetrical, with sparse punctures.</p><p><b>Distribution.</b></p><p>Vietnam (Lam Dong), China (Yunnan).</p><p><b>Remarks.</b></p><p><i>Unihamus elegans</i> (Hanitsch, 1927) was first described from Da lat, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam, and was subsequently recorded from Baoshan, Yunnan Province, China (Bey-Bienko 1957). Our specimens were collected in Jinping and Pingbian counties, Yunnan Province, which borders Vietnam; these specimens correspond to Hanitsch’s (1927) original description and to photographs of the holotype.</p>
