Hedotettix triangularis sp. n. inhabits open meadow in tropical regions. Color of margin of pronotum green when alive which is just like color of the meadow where they inhabit. From collecting time we infer they overwinter as adults.

This new species’ name derives from Latin triangular, which means posterior angles of lateral lobes of pronotum triangulate.

This new species’ name is derived from the Latin comb and femora, which means lower margins of fore and mid femora comb-shaped.
