Thank you Andrea Lim and KrantiAzad. I checked the page you suggested Andrea, and it is Homeomastax dereixi ... which is very simmilar in fact, but the pronotum is not quiet simmilar and the elitra is shorter. I contacted a friend of mine which is an specialist on the genus, and she will send me the identification keys (I hope I can identify it correctly). Thanks for the help !
Beautiful vivid colours in this 'Monkey Grasshopper' similar to that of http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6266286
I think it is Paramastax sp, from the family Eumastacidae. I am not sure which specie is that, but I recently got a revision made by Mitzy Porras and will try to identify it.
