Heterocopus leprosus

The few known specimens of the genus are medium-sized and completely wingless, hardly spined species. They are similar to the genera Eubulides and Theramenes. In contrast to these, the females of Heterocopus do not have a curved, but a straight and relatively long secondary ovipositor. They reach a length of 57 to 69 millimetres (2.2 to 2.7 in). From the mesonotum over the metanotum to the end of the abdomen there is a distinct ridge running down the middle of the body. Only the spines above the rear coxae (supracoxal spines) are recognizable on the upper side of the body. On the underside, smaller spines are present on both the sternites of the thorax and the abdomen. The legs are more or less spined on the femurs and tibiae. Males are around 44 millimetres (1.7 in) long.
