Characters : The genus may be lecognized at once by the two ampliate suprahumeral horns 

 and by the remarkably spinose and nodulate character of the dorsum which gives the insect a most 

 unprepossessing and diabolical appearance as such specific names as « daemonica )> and u satanas » 

 would indicate. The head is subquadrate, longer than wide, and leaf-hke. All three pairs of tibias are 

 broadly flattened. The tegmina are usually semiopaque but the venation is normal. AU of the insects 

 of this genus are small in size and most of them are very dark in color. 



Type crticiala Fabricius.

Nota : For many years the insects of ihis genus have stood under the name Pterygia but Goding (1928) has called 

 attention to the fact that this name was employed for a genus in the Mollusca by Bolton in 1798, by Link in 1807 and by 

 Latreille in 1825. The membracid genus must therefore be given the name Notocera, Amyot and Serville (1848).
