22. Tropidopola cylindrica (Marschall, 1836)
Diagnosis: This species can be separated from T. longicornis by its vertex wide, moderately projecting forward, less narrowed towards the apex (Harz, 1975; fig. 1489–1494); its greatest width in front of eyes, taken between the inner margins of foveolae is equal to or distinctly greater than its lateral margin taken from the anterior margin of the eye to the fastigium.
Habitats: The species is found living amongst tall grasses in wet habitats. The main host plants are maize and Sorghum spp.
Material examined: Al Shati Region: Brack , 2♀, on maize, 1.IV.1996 .
Localities: Tripolitania: Ain Zara, Bu Kamesh, Engila, Tripoli; Fezzan: Qattah.
