| description |
A somewhat large, bulky member of this genus. Adults are a dark orange-brownish color with faint, pale gray patches on the wings; some adults can appear purplish. The crown is slightly produced with a blunt point, and is angled towards the face at an almost perpendicular angle. The head and thorax tend to be an orange to brown color, whereas the wings are mottled with white and orange-brown. The male subgenital plates are somewhat short but triangular. The female pregenital sternite has broadly produced truncate median lobes and smaller lateral lobes on the posterior margin; the sternite is half as long as it is wide, and there is a small median notch with darker coloration on the sides. Adult males are 6.4-7.0 mm long, while females are 7.0-7.7 mm (Hamilton 1975)
Nymphs are a dark brown color, with a wide head and tapered abdomen. |
