This series of seven specimens were also “ caught at light’ 1 at 
Peradeniya : three in November, two in April, one in March, and 
the last one in June. 
Besides the above series three females and two males bearing 
locality Kesbewa (Colombo) were taken in April. Mr. Green 
mentions that they were from rice fields and dry bed of tank. 
“ The living examples being very variable in colour; sometimes 
with broad longitudinal stripe of emerald green.” I think this 
note regarding the colour refers to Hedotettix which were found 
associated in the same environment. A single male labelled Jaffna, 
March, 1901, “ from grass land,” and lastly another male, is from 
North-Central Province, November. 
Gen. Hedotettix , Bol., 1887. 
Plate III., fig. 18. 
Body nearly smooth, to a certain degree minutely granulate, or 
punctate impressed. Head little exserted. Vertex subhorizontal 
not at all wider than eye, middle carinate, towards the front very 
frequently distinctly ampliate, in front transversely carinate. 
Frontal costa between the antennae arcuate produced, between 
the eyes not at all sinuate. Antennae filiform nearly reaching 
to the humeral angles, inserted between the eyes. Pronotum 
truncate in front or obtuse angulate, posteriorly acute subulate, 
median carina slightly compressed, percurrent; posterior angle 
of lateral lobes very narrowly rounded-truncate, or subacute. 
Elytra apically rounded, rarely subacuminate. Wings the length 
of processor caudate, rarely abbreviated. Legs compressed, anterior 
femoral carinse entire, or obscure undulate; posterior femoral 
carinse granulate; posterior tibiae slightly spinose; first article 
of posterior tarsi elongate, the third article shorter than the first.
