Description: A small greenish-yellow species. The vertex is almost parallel margined, slightly and roundedly produced with a bold, thick black transverse band between the eyes, behind the ocelli. The wings are noticeably longer than the abdomen and are a smoky subhyaline color with yellowish nervures. The female pregenital sternite has prominent lateral angles, with the posterior margin strongly produced on either side of a dark median obtuse tooth. The male subgenital plates are long, tapering gradually to acute tips. Adults are 3.0-3.5 mm long. (DeLong 1948)

Comment: NOTE: Some authors treat Ophiola, Ophiolix, and Scleroracus as distinct genera, while other authors treat these as subgenera within Limotettix. More work needs to be done to verify these distinctions/determine the borders of each genus (J. Kits pers. comment). For now, we will follow the latest treatment used in the World Auchenorrhyncha Database (3I).
