| description |
An unmarked lemon-yellow species with pale greenish tegmina; the head is paler, with traces of two brownish arcs on either side extending from the apex toward the ocellus. The head is short in the male but moderately long in females, with the coronal margins curved and the apex obtusely pointed. The elytra is milky hyaline with the nervures yellowish, faintly bordered with fuscous (especially in the male). The female pregenital sternite has the posterior margin roundedly produced, narrowly incised in the middle with a very small rounded notch on either side; the median third of the posterior margin is black. The male subgenital plates taper to bluntly pointed tips and are almost as long as the pygofers, with each having a black spot in the middle. Adult males are 2.5 mm long while females are 2.75-3.0 mm. (DeLong, 1948; Ross & Hamilton, 1972)
