Head in dorsal aspect anterior margin forming approximately 90º angle, in facial aspect generally yellow with pale gray pattern, vertex and anteclypeus usually green to bright green, apical margin of crown with black spot, vertex with two spots. Face in lateral aspect slightly convex, ventral part of frontoclypeus almost two times wider than anteclypeus, posterior margin of antennal ledge almost half-way between apical margin of crown and apical margin of anteclypeus. Pronotum generally bright green, fore margin with dim dark patch behind each eye, posterior margin usually darker, first plural sclerite in lateral aspect subpentagonal, with black spot. Scutellum with pair of black spots basolaterally. Tarsus of foreleg and mid leg with black pattern from claws to posterior margin of tibia, hind tibia in lateral aspect with small single spot, apical margin of tarsus with black spot. Forewing with smoky pattern, posterior margin darker. Tergal apodemes of 2nd abdominal segment short, divided by rectangular notch. Sternal apodemes well developed, posterior lobes distinctly close, inner margin with irregular shape.

Female. Bright green to pale yellowish green, generally brighter than male. Head in facial aspect yellow with pale gray pattern, vertex and anteclypeus bright green to yellowish green, apical margin of crown usually with black spot, vertex with two tiny spots.
