Genus Atylana Melichar, 1906

Atylana Melichar, 1906: 198 (as subgenus of Tylana Stål, 1860 ). Type species: Tylana intrusa Melichar, 1906 , by subsequent designation ( FENNAH 1950: 94).

Comments. Examination of the type specimens of Devagama fasciata Distant, 1913 , D. insularis Distant, 1913 and D. maculata Distant, 1913 has revealed that all of them differ from D. rana Distant, 1906 (type species of the genus Devagama Distant, 1906 ) and are rather close to members of the genus Atylana Melichar, 1906 (sensu FENNAH 1950, 1967) in the following features ( Figs. 7–9 ): metope only with distinct sublateral keels joining at its upper margin; coryphe transverse; subbrachypterous; hind wings well developed; hind tibia with two lateral spines distally; first metatarsomere with entire row of intermediate spines.
