| description |
A pale green species marked with orange longitudinal bands on the crown, pronotum, and scutellum; these bands are broad, well defined, and conspicuous on the pronotum. The crown is rather broadly, roundedly produced and is almost twice as wide between the eyes at the base as the median length. Adults are around 10 mm long. (DeLong & Freytag, 1964) |

NOTE: Gyponana can be a challenging genus to identify, with many species looking similar to one another and not being able to be identified to species unless [a male is] dissected. Further complicating this situation is that the genus in general is likely overdescribed, with numerous species likely synonymous and needing to be lumped. It is important to take clear photos showing the wing venation, and get measurements and underside photos for size and sex. |
