Technical Description, Adults/Nymphs:
Hubbell and Norton (1978)
Comments:
Euhadenoecus puteanus is similar in coloration to E. adelphus but is usually somewhat paler and smaller; individuals at high elevations, however, may be distinguishable only by male reproductive structures (Hubbell and Norton, 1978).
Structural Features:
Males are identifiable based on the shape of the pale glandular areas located on sides of the epiproct. In puteanus, they are rounded or sub-quadrate and the intervening area is pale. In adelphus, they are narrowly triangular or sub-crescentic, with the area in between dark brown. (Hubbell and Norton, 1978). The sides of the fastigial prominences are pale in adelphus but shaded with brown in puteanus, often with a pale ocellation.
