Nimkar, yes indeed similar to the Tricentrus brunneus, there are only a few parts a little different. specification of the eye that are clean, the head of the tail is longer, and the color is darker legs, I guess.
In Asia Tricentrus genus find in such Tri horned planthoppers I think this is Tricentrus brunneus

@Jolly, thank you @Frazier, thank you so much for your help. actually I really appreciate it. :)
Hello. I moved this from "other" to Arthropods which includes insects as well as spiders, crustaceans and more. I also switched your missions from "Brooding..." (which did not apply) to the Mimetic mission (as was suggested in the comments). Cheers :-)
@drP, yup! @Sydes, ok, thank you for your suggestion.
Great spot, I think they could join the Mimetic Animals of the World mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015991
