synonym
description A pale yellow to greenish species with dark eyes and subhyaline forewings. The crown is roundedly produced with a pronounced pointed apex. The male subgenital plates are broad at the base, narrowing to a thin apex with a sinuate lateral margin. The female pregenital sternite has the posterior margin deeply excavated, with the excavation extending much of the length of the sternite, characteristic of this species; the median of the excavation has a small V-shaped notch and is embrowned around the border on either side. Males are 6.7-7.3 mm long, females are 7.0-7.4 mm. (Cwikla 1988)

comments This species is related to Chlorotettix nudatus but can be separated from this species and other members of the genus by the male genitalia, including the stylar apex which is flattened and directed medially: the style angles inwards and has a strongly hooked apex, distinctive to this species (Cwikla 1988). See the styles here, on the right. Furthermore, the female pregenital sternite
