Remarks.
The genus Melidia Stål, 1876 is characterized by the fastigium of the vertex, which is prominently raised in the region of the lateral ocelli. It looks like the genus Phaneroptera , but differs from this mainly in the shape of the head, the male cerci and the sub-genital plate, and broader fore wings. It has a well-developed spine on the fore coxae and males have the stridulatory region of the left tegmina brown or conspicuously marked with brown ( Ragge 1980).
