This is an article based on prolepta celebensis Nagai, Porion and Audibert, 2016. The species is comparable with Prolepta ferocula Stål, 1863, the species is considerably weird;
Head: In p.celebensis, the cephalic process goes downwards, and after covering approximately 25%, take a sharp turn in a forward direction, sort of like a L rotated by 90 or-90 deg (Based on which direction you are looking at it from).
Eyes: ovular.
Thorax:
The thorax is wider than head (including eyes).
Wings:
This is the part that is similar to p.ferocula, as the wings look the same, except that p.celebensis's wings are broader.
