Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 24A View FIGURE 24 ). General color of the body light green with asymmetric patches dark green. Eyes dark green with white spots. Abdomen light green with small yellow circular spots; ventrally whitish. Apical half of the tegmina and apex of the membranous wing with yellow edges.
Female: Morphologically similar to the male, except by the following characteristics ( Figs. 23A–K View FIGURE 23 ):
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally, laterally and posteriorly straight, forming a posterolateral blunt tip ( Fig. 23E View FIGURE 23 ). Metabasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight and posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 23E View FIGURE 23 ).
Wings. Unaltered anal veins for sound production ( Fig. 23A View FIGURE 23 ).
Abdomen. Cercus slightly curved, apex acuminate ( Figs. 23H–J View FIGURE 23 ). Subgenital plate triangular, apex rounded and stylus absent ( Fig. 23H View FIGURE 23 ). Ovipositor curved; apex of ventral valve surpassing the apex of dorsal valve; ovipositor without teeth ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 ).
Coloration. Described based on photos of live specimens ( Fig. 24B View FIGURE 24 ). General color of the body whitish green with asymmetric patches dark green. Purple eyes.
Etymology. The epithet amazonica for the Amazon forest, where the types were collected.
Distribution. Brazil: Amazonas ( Fig. 26 View FIGURE 26 ).

Observation of behavior. It is one of the most common species in the central Amazon region, belonging to the area of endemism of the Guianas. The individuals of this species are found during night collections using methods of attraction by light in environments of ombrophilous forest of terra firma. It probably inhabits the upper strata of the forest, such as the canopy, since collections made in these places obtained a large number of specimens. During nocturnal collections, a female was observed feeding on embaúba leaves ( Cecropia sp. ) ( Figs. 25A–B View FIGURE 25 ).
