| description |
This species usually has a greenish to brown pronotum with scattered with pale yellowish spots. The pronotal crest is [typically] tall and somewhat block-shaped, edged on the top in red; the posterior edge to the crest may be yellow. The pronotal crest may slope downwards more in males than females, and some individuals can have a small crest. The wing tip is a smoky brown, and the wing venation is brown; the rest of the wing is hyaline. The legs are green to brown. Males tend to be smaller than females, being 10 to 11 mm long compared to 11 mm for females (FSCA). |

| comments |
This species is unlikely to be confused with other Telamona in much of the eastern United States, though in Florida there is a somewhat similar species, T. dorana, which has a much broder, larger, and more rounded pronotal crest. |
