Diagnosis. Border between coryphe and metope smooth, without carina ( Figs 1–2 View Figs 1–7 , 12–13 View Figs 10–13 ). Metope quite wide, with no intermediate carinae ( Figs 4 View Figs 1–7 , 13 View Figs 10–13 ), lateral margins (keels) slightly leaf-like flattened. Fore wing wide, sail-shaped ( Figs 1 View Figs 1–7 , 8 View Figs 8–9 , 12 View Figs 10–13 ), without hypocostal plate, precostal area with many transverse veins ( Figs 16–17 View Figs 16–18 ). Fore wing venation: costa separate, Sc+R 2, M 2, CuA 2. Hind wing well-developed, tri-lobed ( Figs 3 View Figs 1–7 , 18 View Figs 16–18 ). Hind tibia with 1–2 lateral spines distally.

Key to subgenera and species

1. General coloration green or green brownish (illustrated in MELICHAR 1923: Pl. 2, Fig. 15 View Figs 14–15 ; also Fig. 12 View Figs 10–13 here). Metope narrower, lateral keels curved above the clypeus forming an obtuse angle ( Fig. 13 View Figs 10–13 ). Fore wing with costal vein furcating apically and Sc and R running separately from the basal cell ( Figs 12 View Figs 10–13 , 16 View Figs 16–18 ). Apex of fore wing with distinct claw-shaped tooth formed by fusion of apices of posterior branch of M (M 2) and both branches of CuA (CuA 1-2). Hind tibia with one lateral spine distally. Smaller, total length of females 11–12.5 mm. .......................... Orthophana Melichar, 1923 View in CoL ( O. spinata Melichar, 1923 View in CoL )
