The Rampur Swamphopper, H. rampuriana sp. nov., is described morphologically in detail, with photographs and illustrations. Like other species of Hyboella, this new species possesses a wide vertex with U-shaped carinae, an anteriorly humped pronotum with a rough texture, and anteriorly diverging prozonal carinae, but unlike most Hyboella species, the new species lacks lateral spines, has wings, and prozonal carinae elongated in comparison to congeners. One species is transferred from the genus Criotettix Bolívar, 1887 to Hyboella, and a new combination is proposed: H. handschini (Günther, 1937) comb. nov. Euparatettix balteatus (Walker, 1871) is found in the type locality of the new species and is recorded from Nepal for the first time. https://jibs.modares.ac.ir/article_28599_164ecd36bc9fc1781df239d00b004d3b.pdf
