| description |
A greenish species with the head moderately projected and as wide as the pronotum, and the face bowed in profile [when viewed from the side] (slightly bowed in males, strongly bowed in females which means the head juts out further in females). Males are green (yellow when dry, as in a collection specimen) with a fuscous to black spot on the apex of the head/top of the face, and usually a fuscous to black band between the antennae on the face. The proepimeron (behind the eye) typically has a bold black spot, and the tarsi and apexes of the tarsi are black. Females are completely green (yellow when dry) and are usually unmarked. Adult males are around 4.0-4.3 mm long, while females are 4.4-4.7 mm. (Hamilton 1983)
Nymphs are densely covered with white hairs and are pale green overall. (Hamilton 1983) |
