Type-species: Tettigonia vittifacies Signoret. 
Length 7.5-10.7 mm. 
Head not produced, median length of crown varying from four-tenths to 
slightly more than six-tenths interocular width and from one-fourth to slightly 
more than one-third transocular width, anterior margin broadly rounded in 
dorsal view, without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located 
on a line between anterior eye angles, each slightly closer to median line than 
to adjacent anterior eye angle, crown with a shallow transverse concavity 
across ocelli; without sculpturing or setae, lateral clypeal sutures extending 
onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not protuberant, in lateral 
view with anterior margins oblique and convex; clypeus convex or slightly 
flattened medially, muscle impressions distinct or not, transclypeal suture ob- 
solete medially, clypellus with profile continuing contour of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width equal to or less than transocular width of head, 
lateral margins parallel or convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae usually 
incomplete, posterior margin weakly concave, disk without sculpturing, 
scutellum not striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with membrane 
sharply delimited, varying interspecifically in extent, otherwise as in 
Amblyscartidia, new genus. Hindleg as in Amblyscartidia. 
Male genitalia: Male pygofer weakly to moderately produced, posterior
