| description |
Greenish overall with a slight brownish tinge and lacking any definite markings. The wing venation is distinctive, differentiating it from similarly-colored green Chlorotettix. The head, thorax and scutellum are pale brownish, while the elytra is subhyaline and pale green, tinged with brown apically. The vertex is unmarked and almost twice as wide as it is long, with a noticeable pointed apex. The female pregenital sternite has the posterior margin broadly, triangularly excavated about halfway to the base of the segment; the lateral margins are somewhat roundedly lobate. The male subgenital plates are long and triangular, tapering about 3/4 the length to slightly divergent finger-like apexes. Adults are 5.5-6.0 mm long. (Crumb 1915, DeLong 1948)
