[2][3] In Sumangala, the first media branch does not split and as a consequence only 6 veins of the cubitus-media complex reach the margin at the end of the wing.

[3] Type species: Sumangala delicatula Distant, 1911[1] The species of Sumangala are found in tropical parts of Asia, ranging from southern India and Sri Lanka in the West to Taiwan, southern China, the Philippines and parts of Indonesia in the East.

On the Asian mainland, Sumangala species have been recorded from Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and West Malaysia, and in Indonesia from Sumatra, Borneo, Java and Sulawesi.

However, two species are more widely distributed, the first one is Sumangala sufflava the most common species in this genus which has a distribution range from Myanmar to southern China on mainland Asia and is also found in Taiwan, the Philippines and western parts of Indonesia, including Borneo, Sumatra and Java.

[2][3] Other features of the genus Sumangala include the presence of 5 costal cells on the forewings and an evenly rounded profile of the head, with the ridges on the side of the face meeting in front of the eyes.

The adult hoppers are around 5 mm long from head to the tip of the wings and carry their forewings in a roof-like position when the insects are at rest.

It is assumed that the nymphal stages live in decaying organic matter like other derbids, feeding on fungi.
