Redescription.
Medium to large leafhoppers. Ochraceous with variable dark brown markings. Head narrower than pronotum, crown slightly concave, carinate anteriorly. Ocelli on anterior margin of head closed to eyes. Pronotum with inconspicuous lateral carina. Scutellum nearly equal to or slightly shorter than pronotum. Forewings brachypterous, reaching caudal margin of abdominal segment II, with vestigial venation. Profemur setal row AV with 9–10 setae of nearly same length; IC row with 10–13 short stout setae of similar length, situated relatively distant from ventral margin towards apex of femur; AM1 and AM2 present and sometimes a small seta more basal (
Fig. 2
D). Protibia dorsal setal formula 5+4 (
Fig. 2
B).
Hind
femur setal formula 2+2+1 (
Fig. 2
A).
Hind
tibia setal row AD: with approximately 15 long stout setae and 0–2 shorter stout setae between each long seta; PD: with appproximately 16 macrosetae, intermediate in length over basal two thirds and with 0–2 short fine setae between macrosetae (
Fig. 2
C).
Male pygofer side length slightly greater than width, mid lower portion of posterior margin convex with numerous macrosetae; ventrolateral cleft present. Subgenital plate with scattered macrosetae on lateral margin. Style broadly bilobed basally, apophysis digitiform. Aedeagus with basal part articulated to shaft, with or without pair of long processes.
First valvula dorsal sculpturing maculose to granulose, marginal basally and submarginal apically (Plate I: F & G). Second valvula slightly convex dorsally near base, abruptly broadening at approximately midlength from base and remaining 0.45 of dorsal margin with distinct obliquely triangular serrated teeth (Plate I: H & I).
