| description |
Males of this species have a pronotum arching moderately (compared to the female). Males, 5.8 mm long, are a dull red color, with black on the forward part of the pronotum. The mid-dorsal translucent pale spot is broad, and there are two more transverse pale bands across the pronotum. The forewings are hyaline with a dark tip, and the legs are yellowish red. Females are yellowish, tinged with red. The female crest/pronotum is high, rising more so than in the male. Transverse bands of the pronotum are often absent, and the pronotum is long. The eyes have a reddish tint. (Kopp) |

| behavior |
To listen to the male courtship call for this genus, listen here. These courtship calls are not audible to the human ear, and the calls here are produced by recording the substrate vibrations that the treehoppers use to communicate through the plants themselves. The recorded call is then amplified so that it is now audible to human ears. Research has shown that treehoppers use vibrations to attract mates, to announce the discovery of a good feeding site, or to alert a defending mother to the approach of a predator (T.IM). |
