Structurally, nearly identical with conspersipes but form more 

 slender, length of antennal segment ii greater as compared with

 fulvous coloration more distinct on inner apical half of corium and 

 on cuneus ; head, pronotum, and ventral parts greenish, pronotum 

 basally, sides of tylus, dorsal margins of juga and lora, base of 

 head, indistinct transverse striae on front, sternum and sides of
