Three males and one female from Singapore; one male from 

 the Island of Penang.

 flexed or vertical as in most Membracidae but is projected well 

 forward at the inferior margin.

 less forward, not deflexed; tegmina smoky-hyaline, very slightly

 from a side view, entire frontal outline of head continuing slope 

 of metopidium; brown, smooth, thickly pubescent with fine, short, 

 yellowish hairs; base weakly sinuate: eyes prominent and brown, 

 their inferior margins continuing the almost straight line formed 

 by the inferior margins of face and clypeus; ocelli not prominent, 

 pearly, farther from each other than from the eyes and situated 

 very slightly above an imaginary line passing through centers of 

 eyes; clypeus swollen, convex in front, about as wide as long, tip
