Diagnosis by Beier 1960

Content:  Green, lateral edges of pronotum sparsely granulated, the posterior margin almost 3 times as wide as the anterior margin. Costal margin of elytra descending in steep arc from middle to tip, the latter fairly long, narrow and elongated; veins of costal area scarcely branched, ending in dark nodules; Sc bifurcate in middle, both branches with short terminal bifurcations as well; R strongly curved, terminating in tip; Rs originating sligthly proximal of middle; anal margin in distal half slightly sinuate, stridulating vein strongly thickened. Fore and mid femora each with 4-5 dark basal spinules. Male pronotum 7 mm, length of elytra 49 mm, width of costal area 15 mm, width of discoidal area 12 mm. Distribution: Ecuador.

[translated from German, which corresponds to the original Latin - the development of "dark nodules" might be intraspecifically variable, they occur only in a female collected 1999 in southern Ecuador]
