Description

Phyllotettix Hancock, 1902

Type species. Phyllotettix compressus (Thunberg, 1815).

Description. Body strongly compressed with surface finely rugose; head and compound eyes inserted below pronotum disc; antennal groove situated below margin of compound eyes; facial carinae placed between antennal groove; scutellum distinctly rounded and wider. Pronotum with radiating veins; crest highly elevated, with edge undulated or almost straight; anterior margin of pronotum elevated overhead, covering dorsally the head with a truncated projection or almost rounded extending down almost to the vertex portion; margin posterior of pronotum not truncated; infrascapular area visible and broad. Tegmina and wings absent. Fore femur undulated, middle femur elongated; hind femur robust, with dorsal margin excavated on distal portion (Fig. 6, 7).

Comments. Phyllotettix has three species: P. compressus (Thunberg, 1815), P. foliatus (Hancock, 1902) and P. rhombeus (Felton, 1765). P. foliatus is the species described more recently. Otte (1978) listed the holotype housed at the ANSP, but we were not able to locate this specimen.
