Type species. Phyllotettix compressus (Thunberg, 1815) .

Body strongly compressed with surface finely rugose; head and compound eyes inserted below pronotum disc; antennal groove situated below margin of compound eyes; facial carinae placed between antennal groove; scutellum distinctly rounded and wider. Pronotum with radiating veins; crest highly elevated, with edge undulated or almost straight; anterior margin of pronotum elevated overhead, covering dorsally the head with a truncated projection or almost rounded extending down almost to the vertex portion; margin posterior of pronotum not truncated; infrascapular area visible and broad. Tegmina and wings absent. Fore femur undulated, middle femur elongated; hind femur robust, with dorsal margin excavated on distal portion (Fig. 6, 7).

Comments. Phyllotettix has three species: P. compressus (Thunberg, 1815), P. foliatus (Hancock, 1902) and P. rhombeus (Felton, 1765) . P. foliatus is the species described more recently. Otte (1978) listed the holotype housed at the ANSP, but we were not able to locate this specimen.
