| description |
A pale green species with an orange/brown or smoky tint on the wings, pronotum, scutellum, and face. The wing venation is a combination of pale, indistinct and dark veins. The legs are bicolored, with green bases and fuscous tips. The vertex is twice as long in the middle, and is slightly pointed, than near the eyes. The female pregenital sternite is rather short with a broad excavation that gives a sinuous shape to the posterior margin; in some individuals, the border of the excavation is brown. The male plates are somewhat triangular in shape, with a broad base and gradually tapering to acute, pointed tips. Adults are around 7.5 mm long. (DeLong 1918)

NOTE: Chlorotettix is a notriously difficult genus to identify to species visually; a majority of the species are various shade of yellow and green, and they can only be reliably distinguished by looking at genital features. Therefore, it is very important for all Chlorotettix species other than necopinus and tergatus to obtain a picture of the underside.
This particular species visually resembles C. galbanatus, as both are greenish with a brown tint and have dark wing venation. They do however have extremely different genitalia. |
