© David George- note the pronotal pattern

synonym
description A greenish species, with the pronotal horns and ridge typically reddish. This species is distinctive from other Stictocephala spp. in having the mottled white lined pattern on the pronotum: two white lines originate on the posterior side of each horn, with the ventral line following the ventral margin of the pronotum and the other line following the contour of the crest (forming somewhat of a white arch), before both lines converge and end at the ventral margin of the pronotum anterior to the posterior process. The wings are yellowish apically Adult males are 6.8 mm, females 7.5 mm. (Caldwell, 1949)
distribution Eastern and central North America; once uncommon to rare (previously only known from MD and NE) but, in the age of digital photography and sites like Bugguide and iNaturalist, has been reported widely across the region in many new states.
abundance Rare, reported from a single county in the Piedmont.
