Megaglena sivarubani sp. nov. is described based on the nymphs from the Puliyuthu falls of Tamil Nadu, Southern India. The number of species of Megaglena Peters Edmunds is now expanded to three and it is the first record of the genus from the Tamil Nadu part of Southern Western Ghats. Megaglena sivarubani sp. nov. can be distinguished from Indian species M. agasthiya Vasanth, Subramanian Selvakumar by the body size of the nymphs, shape of the labial palp segment III, and by the setation of foretibia. The morphological variations between all the known species of Megaglena are discussed and summarized.
巨叶蝉属 Megaglena 新种（学名：Megaglena sivarubani sp. nov.）是基于来自印度南部泰米尔纳德邦的普里尤图瀑布的若虫描述的。巨叶蝉属 Megaglena Peters Edmunds 的物种数量现已增加到三个，这是该属在南西高止山脉的泰米尔纳德邦部分的首次记录。巨叶蝉属 Megaglena sivarubani sp. nov. 可通过若虫的体型、唇须节 III 的形状和前跗节的刚毛排列与印度种 M. agasthiya Vasanth、Subramanian Selvakumar 区分开来。讨论并总结了所有已知巨叶蝉属物种之间的形态变异。
