| description |
A distinctive banded hopper. Adults are yellowish overall with two bold, dark brown to black bands that almost resemble a bow-tie in shape. One band extends across the pronotum while the other extends across the lower part of the wings, before the apical cells. The top of the head has two parallel orange submedial lines, often with a lateral branch; the midline is pale. The tips of the wings are a pale yellow color, and the orange markings on the wing and head darken to a reddish color as adults mature; younger individuals can be quite yellow. Adults are 3.0- 3.4 mm long. (3I) |

A very distinctive hopper, nothing else looks like it. The two banded pattern contrasts with other Erythroneurini that are banded, as those species have either a single or three bands. |
