This series of specimens exhibits considerable variation in color, both 

 in the ground color and the intensity of the pattern. Some individuals 

 are without a trace of greenish, while others have the base color, very 

 pale apple green ; the pattern of the tegmina in some is a complicated 

 subscalariform arrangement, in others only an irregular mottling. 

 In all the specimens examined, including the nymphs, the dorsal 

 abdominal markings are distinct. 



The species has been recorded once before from Costa Rica, from 

 Cache, by Saussure and Pictet.
