description |
A yellowish-green species, sometimes with a brownish tint to the wing-tips. It has very prominent dark hind wing venation showing through otherwise hyaline fore wings (tegmina), characteristic of this species. Males have black antennal tips, characteristic of males of this genus, and white facial stripes, with a noticeable white midline on the pronotum. The scutellum on males also has a white mark, and there are two brown lateral triangles in the upper corners of the scutellum. Females lack the midline, have a greenish scutellum, and are more elongate and slender than the males (larger as well). The crown of the head for both sexes is unmarked. The male subgenital plates are short and thin, wider near the apex. The female pregenital sternite has a rounded posterior margin with a shallow median emargination. Adult males are 4.4-5.0 mm long, while females are 4.8-5.3 mm. (Freytag 1965) |
