Figures 795-798 
Mareja Melichar, 1926a:343. Type-species: Tettigonia limbaticollis Stal (which is a junior 
subjective synonym of 7. urbana Stal) by subsequent designation of China, 
1938d:184. 
Length of male 7.4-10.1 mm, of female 8.0-10.7 mm. 
Head strongly produced, its median length varying from slightly less than 
seven-tenths interocular width to one-fourth greater than interocular width, 
and from slightly less than four-tenths to seven-tenths transocular width, an- 
terior margin angular or rounded (M. reticuliceps, n. sp.) in dorsal view, with 
or without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located on or 
behind a line between anterior eye angles, their relative distance from adja- 
cent anterior eye angle and from median line of crown variable interspeci- 
fically, disk of crown concave, surface without sculpturing, lateral clypeal 
sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not protu- 
berant, each in lateral view with anterior portion widened, flattened, and an- 
terior margin very convex; clypeus convex or flattened, granulate to smooth 
medially, muscle impressions not very distinct, face without pubescence, 
transclypeal suture obsolete medially, clypellus in profile continuing contour 
of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width varying from slightly less to slightly greater 
than transocular width of head, lateral margins parallel or nearly so, dor- 
sopleural carinae complete, posterior margin concave, disk usually not sculp- 
tured (transversely rugulose in Mareja urbana (Stal) and some specimens of M. 
anceps (Fowler)), without pubescence; proepimeron partially divided by a cur- 
ved sulcus (fig. 795b); scutellum not transversely rugulose behind transverse 
sulcus. Forewing with membrane absent or including all or only a part of in- 
ner apical cell, veins usually distinct, with four apical cells and base of fourth 
located much more proximally than base of third, with three closed anteapical 
cells, texture coriaceous, without sculpturing; forewings of female in rest posi- 
tion exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; 
first tarsomere with length greater than combined length of two more distal 
tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced, posterior margin angulate or 
truncate, with few to many macrosetae of various sizes on posterior half, 
without processes. Plates narrowly triangular, not extending posteriorly nearly 
as far as pygofer apex, with uniseriate macrosetae and with a number of 
microsetae. Style not extending as far apically as apex of connective, with a 
slight preapical lobe, apex rounded or acute. Connective Y-shaped with arms 
widely divergent, not as long as stem. Aedeagus very short and curved 
strongly dorsally, without processes on shaft. Paraphyses varying from 
vestigial to paired at base and with a median ramus or with two asym- 
metrical rami. 
Female abdominal sternum VII very long, narrowed abruptly posteriorly 
and with a median narrowly convex lobe. Dorsal membrane of genital cham- 
ber without definite sclerites. Ovipositor with second valvulae each slightly
