Morphological Features

Greenish-yellow. Vertex with a transverse black line just below the anterior margin between the eyes; crown always with a submarginal black transverse band. Pronotum with a blackish band at the apical edge. Tegmina with a pitched stripe extending from the middle to the claval suture. Black markings of pronotum and forewing vary; reduced color pattern may resemble Nephotettix cincticeps. Males easily identified by genitalia and usually by color; female sternite VII differs from N. cincticeps. Apophysis of style always elongate, but shape varies.
