" Intermediate in its characters between Tliamnotettix and 

 Athifsanus. In form the species resembles Phleijsius, being 

 broader and stouter than in Thamnotettix. The vertex is rounded 

 anteriorly and more or less transversely impressed behind the 

 apex ; the front is nearly as wide as in Atliysanus ; the elytra are 

 proportionally shorter than in Tliamnotettix, and moderately 

 valvated at the apex, with one transverse uervure between the 

 first and second sectors. The sides of the pronotum are shorter 

 than in Thamnotettix and ecarinate." ( Van Duzee.)
