Colour brown or dark brown.</p> <p>Head conspicuously exerted; vertex with lateral margins divergent posteriorly, anterior width narrower than width of eye at same level, in lateral view, frontal costa arched upward antennae. Antennae filiform, inserted between the lower margins of eyes. Eyes elevated above vertex, globular in shape, lateral ocelli inserted between middle of anterior margins of eyes. Pronotum truncate anteriorly, mid-keel of pronotum conspicuous; abbreviated carinae present; hind process of pronotum extending beyond apices of hind femora. Posterior angles of lateral lobes of pronotum produced into sharp spines, straight or directed outwards. Visible part of tegmina elongated, rounded at apex. Hind wings reaching apex of hind process. Upper and lower margins of fore femora and mid femur entire, margins of hind femur finely serrulate (Figures 3I, 5L). First segment of posterior tarsi is longer than third.</p> <p>Species of the genus Eucriotettix are usually associated with, but not limited to, moist environments, living along the moist stony area on the border of streams in tropical rainforests. Some have suggested that the often-flattened front and median limbs are used like paddles for swimming. Their diet consists mostly of algae growing on the moist stony surface, along with lichens and other forms of humus. They generally overwinter as adults.</p> <p>Key to the species of Eucriotettix Hebard from China</p> <p>1.
