Genus Hyboella, nov. (Coptotettix in part). 
Body more or less crassate; head not at all exserted; vertex 
wider than one of the eyes, narrowed forward, granose, imperfectly 
marginate, on either side bearing a very small looped carinula, 
more distinct next to the eyes, very lightly fossulate, middle 
minutely carinate; frontal costa produced, often depressed be- 
tween the eyes, compressed-arcuate between the antennae; eyes 
more or less conoidal in form; paired ocelli placed little below the 
middle, or between the middle of the eyes; antennae filiform, of 
moderate length, and inserted between the extreme lower part of 
the eyes, or barely below. Pronotum anteriorly truncate, or sub- 
convex, or barely produced at the middle: hind process posteriorly 
cuneate, not extended beyond the knees of the hind femora; or 
subulate and extended beyond the apices of the hind femora ; 
median carina of the pronotum compressed elevated forward be- 
tween the sulci, the dorsum tectiform forward, behind the shoul- 
ders depressed or planate, the median carina often bearing tuber- 
cles: middle of front border not at all or little produced over the 
occiput; posterior angles of the lateral lobes of the pronotum 
laminate dilated, subtransversely truncate behind, the angles 
subacute produced, or the posterior angles more or less reflexed 
outwards and obliquely truncate behind, rarely not reflexed out- 
wards. Hlytra and wings wanting, or when present the elytra 
elongate lanceolate, narrowed toward the apices, and the wings 
abbreviated, or extended beyond the pronotal apex. Anterior 
femora elongate, margins entire; middle femoral margins entire 
or undulate; posterior femora distinctly crassate, strongly widened 
toward the base, external face above bearing large tubercles, the 
superior carina minutely serrulate, entire, or bearing denticles 
toward the apices; the first joint of the posterior tarsi distinctly 
longer than the third. 
This genus differs from Copotettix, Bolivar, in the stouter 
stature, the often depressed frontal costa between the eyes; the 
position of the antennae; the dilated or reflexed posterior angles 
of the lateral lobes of the pronotum, which are truncate behind; 
the compressed tectiform pronotum forward; and in the frequent 
imperfect development or absence of the wings. In the character 
of the posterior angles of the lateral lobes, this genus resembles 
Mazarredia somewhat. It includes a number of species in India, 
and some species in the Oriental Region outside of India. The 
type is Hyboella tentata, sp. nov. 
Table for separating the Indian species, 
1. Elytra and wings wanting. 
2. Antennae inserted below the eyes; disc 
of pronotum elevated ; lateral lobes of 
pronotum strongly arcuate backwards ; 
pronotum of male 9°3 mm. latifrons, Brunner.
