), Kandy (for coordinates see
Table 1

,

Habitat
. Rainforests.
Notes
. The decurved Sri-Lankan twighopper has been reported once (Sandrasagara 1950) since the description (
Saussure 1862
).
Syntypes
were collected more than 150 years ago, around Peradeniya and Trincomalee (
Saussure 1862
). In the original description,
Saussure (1862)
placed this species in the genus
Tettix
Charp.
, newly founded subgenus
Cladonotus
. Because the original combination was
Tettix (Cladonotus) humbertianus
,
the author should be written in brackets according to Article 51.3. of the International Code of the Zoological Nomenclature (
ICZN 1999
). Besides the type material (MHNG), there are a few specimens of this species in the Colombo Museum,
Sri Lanka
(Sandrasagara 1950), which should be studied and digitalized in future.
