39. GENUS CYMBOMORPHA Stal 



Cymbomorpha Stal, Analect. Hemip. 338 (1866). 

 Aulactropis Stal, Hem. Fabr. II : 34 (1869). 



Characters : Large, conspicuous insects, usualiy greenish or yellowish in color with the dorsum 

 highly elevated, semifoliaceous and compressed. The head is subquadiate, broader than high, roughly 

 sculptured, usually with longitudinal striae. The ocelli are large, conspicuous and equidistant from each 

 otherand from the eyes. The clypeus is rounded and continues the line of the lateral and inferior mar- 

 ginsof the genae. The pronotum is highly elevated, strongly compressed laterally, with heavy projecting 

 humeral angles but with no suprahumerals or other anterior processes. The posterior process is tecti- 

 form, and depressed downward near the end to follow the curve of the tegmina with the tip sharp and 

 not reaching the tipsof thetegmina. Thescutellum is entirely concealedby the pronotum. Thetegmina 

 are broad, hyaline or smoky-hyaline, with five apical and two discoidal cells and a broad hmbus, and are 

 entirely free. The legs are simple and the tarsi equally developed.

Geographical distribution : The genus contains a considerable number of species rather
