Genus JAMITETTIX Matsumura

Jamitettix Matsumura , Ins. Matsumurana 15: 40, 1940. Orthotype, Jamitettix

kotonis Matsumura.

Vertex short, more than five times as broad as long; anterior margin broadly curved; posterior margin broadly curved, nearly parallel to the anterior margin.

This genus was described to include those species closely related to Drabescus Stal which do not have the anterior femora furcate or ridged, and1 the posterior margin not dilated. The veins of the tegmina are smooth throughout, not granulate in the anterior area as they are in Drabescus .
