A mottled hopper with an orange to reddish-brown to brown color pattern and two dark brown curved transverse bands across the wings, the upper of which broadens laterally; the wing venation is marked with black spots. The frons is bicolored, being brown to slightly reddish-brown with a white transverse white band and a pale clypeus. The vertex and pronotum are reddish-brown to orange. Adults are around 5.0 to 6.2 mm long. (O'Brien, 1971) |

| comments |
This species is most similar to Catonia picta and could be easily confused. Both species have similarly colored wings, but in picta there is a broad central transverse grayish-white band; in pini, this band is instead pale brown. Additionally, there is a lot more variation in the coloration of the wing in pini than picta, with the latter primarily being reddish-brown and grayish-white while the former is a mixture of various browns, black and grayish-white. Additionally, the facial pattern in the two species is quite different: in picta, the frons is black and rufous-brown with a white band, whereas in pini the face is brown with a white band. The frons of pini is also similarly colored to that of bicinctura, but that species is very differently colored and patterned across the body and wings. |
