Scelimena bellula View in CoL species group
Paracriotettix: Liang 2002 View in CoL , Deng 2016.
Type species: Scelimena bellula Storohenko & Dawwrueng, 2015 .
Composition and distribution. Four species inhabiting PR China ( S. melli , S. nitidogranulosa ), Thailand ( S. bellula ), Myanmar and Vietnam ( S. rosacea ). Reports of S. rosacea from India ( Blackith 1992) are doubtful.
Notes. This is northern group within Scelimena , characteristic in colorful appearance (with yellow, orange and red tints) and pronotal projections are very low so the dorsum is very smooth. Metalateral tubercles are absent. Members of the group superficially resemble Paramphibotettix and Amphibotettix (species other than the type species). Except of S. bellula and S. melli , morphology of the other species is not well known so basically other two species are tentatively assigned to this group and further research is needed. Since the holotype of Paracriotettix zhengi , the only species assigned to the genus Paracriotettix , was found to be conspecific with S. melli , the genus Paracriotettix is synonymized with Scelimena .
