What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

discussion · Plazi

Remarks . Stål (1876) described the genus Melidia , highlighting the following main differences with Phaneroptera Serville, 1831 : fastigium of vertex more concave, wings longer and wider, apex of radial area of tegmina larger, humeral sinus less deep, sub-rectangular, lower and posterior margins of pronotum lobes rounded. Ragge (1980) also highlighted some differences with Phaneroptera , as the more robust body, the relatively broader fore wings (less than 5 times longer that their maximum width) and in the males the stridulatory area of the left tegmen brown or conspicuously marked with brown, thus contrasting with the general green colouring. Concerning the ratio length/width of tegmina, Melidia claudiae has tegmina more than 5 times longer than their maximum length, but other characters lie within the genus Melidia .
