| description |
A green species with a very high and rounded pronotum (typically more so than A. belfragei) that is strongly foliaceous, covered with dense pale speckling. The dorsal crest overhangs the head, and the brownish edge to the crest is broken by scattered pale spots, both features characteristic of this species. The head is smooth and sparingly pubescent, while the pronotum is closely but distinctly punctate and sparsely pubescent. The tegmina is smoky hyaline with darker tips, contrasting with the green pronotum. The underside and legs are a yellowish-brown. Adults are 9- 11 mm long and 4.5-5.0 mm wide with a 6 mm high pronotum. (Kopp & Yonke, 1974) |
