Type species. Macromotettixoides jiuwanshanensis Zheng, Wei & Jiang, 2005 by original designation Redescription. Size small and stout. Vertex nearly at the same or slightly below the level of anterior margin of pronotum, and decidedly wider than width of one eye ; longitudinal furrow (instead of scutellum in most genera of Cladonotinae ) relatively shallow, equal to or wider than diameter of scapus (similar to Cladonotinae ); antennae filiform, inserted between or below lower margin of eyes. Pronotum roof-like or nearly at the same level; median carina conspicuous, sometime weakly, but not strongly lamellate; hind process short, not surpassing apex of hind femur, apex acute or acutely rounded; posterior angle of lateral lobe turning outwards (differ from Tettiginae (directed downwards and contiguous to the body)), apex truncated or roundly truncated (differ from Scelimeninae (directed sideward as an acute triangle process or a long acute spine)); ventral sinus present, tegminal sinus absent or very inconspicuous; external lateral carina surpassing middle of lower margin of pronotum. Flying organs abbreviated: tegmina invisible; hind wings invisible in most species, visible but never reaching middle of hind process in few species. Female ovipositor narrow and long. Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Taiwan). Key to species of Macromotettixoides (16 species)

*Note: according to descriptions (antegenicular denticle and genicular denticle have not been separated) and drawings of Zheng et al. (2002) and Zheng (2005) , the type specimen (only one female) of Macromotettixoides aelytra (Zheng, Li & Shi, 2002) (synonym: Hyboella aelytra Zheng, Li & Shi, 2002 ( Zheng et al. 2006 )) should be a nymph. Validity of Macromotettixoides aelytra requires more material to confirm its characters, and herein we temporarily place the species in the key.
