Scaphoideus coloratus Rao, 1990 : 79 , Figs 83–90 . HOLOTYPE ɗ, INDIA [ZSI, examined]. Ochraceous. Anterior margin of vertex with a marginal and a submarginal inverted Vshaped chocolate brown to black stripe; head with one pronotum with an anterior and a posterior submarginally and scutellum with an anterior broader transverse reddish band. Front wing brownish with oblique brown spots. Head triangularly produced with a blunt anterior angle. Vertex shorter than inter ocular width. Male genitalia : Pygophore with caudal lobe rounded, longer than high. Subgenital plate triangular, elongate, 3 times as long as basal width, caudally rather pointed. Style with well­developed preapical lobe, apophysis long, narrowed distally, laterally curved rather abruptly at 0.33. Connective with arms as long as stem, paraphyses widely separated at base, convergent till midlength, then gradually divergent, twisted and narrowed to apex at distal 0.25. Aedeagus with well­developed distally bilobed dorsal apodeme, shaft in lateral aspect slender, rather long, with an apical toothlike projection on dorsal margin, laterally keeled, ventrally furrowed; gonopore elongate, almost occupying half length of shaft in ventral aspect. Measurements : Male 4.60 mm long and 1.17 mm wide across eyes. Material examined : INDIA : holotype ɗ, Meghalaya: Shillong, Nongthumai, 20.ix.1975 , M.S. Jyrwa Coll. (ZSI). Other material: NEPAL : 1 ɗ, Taplejung Dist., Dabhan, c 3500 ft ( 1062 m ), shady places on shrubby slope above R. Tamur, 21–27.i.1962 , Brit. Mus. East Napal Exp., 1961­62 , R.L. Cole Coll., B.M. 1962­177 ( BMNH ). Remarks : S. colorata has coloration similar to that of the species of Scaphotettix and is related to S. sculptus sp. nov. (see below), from which it differs in the shape of the paraphyses.
