description |
A brownish, speckled leafhopper. The vertex and often pronotum is marked with or without small reddish dots. Additionally, the pronotum and wings are heavily marked with small brown spots, which are somewhat evenly distributed; the wings also have one to two broken transverse black bands that are made up of larger spots. The pronotum typically has two bold black spots on the anterior margin, one behind each ocellus; in some individuals though, there is a noticeable second set of spots behind each eye, making four spots (but there is always a spot behind the ocelli). The ocelli are prominent on the vertex, often appearing as bright whitish spots. The female pregenital sternite has produced, rounded lateral angles and a concave excavation on the posterior margin, on either side of a broad and produced median lobe; there is a slight notch in the middle of the lobe. Adults are around 9.0 mm long. (DeLong 1948) |
