| description |
A somewhat distinctive yellowish to white species with an orange to reddish-brown zigzag pattern on each wing. The zigzag pattern is thick and bold, with the bands remaining separate from one another and not touching the band on the other wing; this gives the appearance of a degree of white separating the two zigzag bands. The vertex has orange parallel submedial lines, often with a lateral branch, and a pale midline in between. The pronotum has a Y or V-shaped dark orange to reddish mark, and the mesonotum is pale with dark lateral triangles and a reddish apex to the scutellum. The face is pale, as is the thoracic venter outside of the dark mesosternum. Adults are 2.8-3.1 mm long. (Dmitriev & Dietrich, 2007)
Nymphs are yellowish-white with reddish to reddish-brown markings on the pronotum and wing buds.
