description A distinctive species in the state. This genus has the vertex wider than long, and in dorsal view the front of the head is truncate or weakly rounded (UDEL).

This species is relatively pale overall, with greenish and orange tints on the wings, though there is variation in pattern among individuals. There are a couple of dark markings on the temple/side of the head that appear to be characteristic of Flataloides scabrosus (BG).
