Key to Lophotettiginae View in CoL genera and species

1. Antennae with 11 segments moderately or noticeably expanded, at least from the fifth or sixth antennal segment to the apex. Mid-line of pronotum usually elevated as a crest, at least one-third of its length. Pronotum and legs with conspicuous granules. Middle femora carinated; hind femora robust, carinated and/or with lappets. Robust appearance ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 )..... Lophotettix View in CoL .... 2

‒ Antennae with more than 11 segments, mostly not expanded, and if so, only moderately in the last three or two segments ( Figs. 2C View FIGURE 2 , 5B View FIGURE 5 ). Mid-line of pronotum generally not elevated, if so, only moderately hump-shaped at meso and metathorax level ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 , 3B View FIGURE 3 , 4 View FIGURE 4 ). Pronotum and legs generally smooth, without conspicuous granulations. Middle femora slightly carinated; hind femora robust, carinated and without lappets. Slender appearance ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 , 4 View FIGURE 4 )....... Phelene View in CoL stat resurr. ...................6
