The sides of the head and thorax are edged with white, and the legs are mostly green. The wings themselves are mostly clear and appear fragile, contrasting with the wings of Rhynchomitra. See UDEL for images of a pinned specimen. |

| comments |
The nymphs of this species are unknown as of now. It has been claimed before that the only Dictyopharid nymphs that are green are from Nersia, and green nymphs for example on Bugguide have been labeled as such, but this is not actually true. Some Scolops nymphs, such as S. sulcipes, have green nymphs. The nymphs of Nersia could be green, but they are clearly not the only green Dictyopharid nymphs in our region. |
