Description
The genus can be recognised by: head with mandibular plates longer than clypeus and converging in front of it; an angular, tranversely directed projection in front of each eye, the eyes subpedunculate; the antennae each with 4 segments and the pedicel and basiflagellum angular in cross section and all faces deeply furrowed between the edges; the pronotum subquadrate in shape with its anterior margin much broader than the head; the wings often reduced ( brachypterous); and the lateral margins and posterolateral angles of pregenital abdominal segments without tubercles. As for the two species within ''Sagriva'', ''S.'' ''vittata'' is larger (males 15.3–16.7 mm long, females 16.9–19.2 mm) and has a contrasting yellow, brown and black pattern. ''Sagriva banna'' is smaller (males 10.8-12.2 mm long, females 14.2–14.3 mm) and uniformly black in colour.Ecology
Adults and nymphs of ''S. vittata'' have been collected from unidentified species of climbing Cucurbitaceae.References
