Generic diagnosis
Alatae: Morphological features of Takecallis are similar to Subtakecallis Raychaudhuri and Pal in having a nose-like processus on the clypeus, and spinal abdominal setae surrounded by cribriform wax glands.

Takecallis species occur on various bamboos such as Arundinaria spp., Bambusa spp., Dendrocalamus spp., Pseudosasa spp., Phyllostachys spp., Pleioblastus spp., and Sasa spp. (Poaceae).
Distribution
This genus is native to the Oriental region, but one or more species occur as introduced populations in Australian, Ethiopian, Palearctic, Nearctic, and Neotropical regions.
