). To date we have only seen records of females where their base coloration was pale green with some areas highlighted in yellow/tan (such as the antennae and venation of the tegmina). In a few individuals we have seen some areas marked with spotting of tan/brown coloration on the abdomen, tegmina, and femoral lobes, but these areas tend to be rather minimal. We have yet to observe extreme color variations in this species.

The pronotum surface is slightly lumpy and marked with a distinct sagittal furrow and slight central perpendicular furrow. The pronotum has distinct, smooth anterior and lateral rims. Prosternum, mesosternum, and metanotum are covered sparsely with nodes that are irregularly spaced throughout the surface, but all relatively small. Prescutum approximately as long as wide, with lateral rims marked by 10-12 small tubercles relatively evenly sized and spaced, giving the lateral rims a rough appearance. The prescutum anterior rim is distinct but not strongly protruding and the rim surface is relatively smooth. Prescutum surface slightly raised along the sagittal plane and the surface is only slightly marked with granulation. The mesopleura start to diverge slightly posterior to the prescutum anterior rim and diverge uniformly with straight margins. The mesopleuron margin is marked throughout with five or six larger tubercles and six or seven smaller tubercles interspersed throughout. Mesopleuron surface slightly granular.

Typically, the protibiae and the profemoral interior lobe are brown as well as the antennae. Abdominal segment V has a set of large, dark eye spots.

Antennae (including the scapus and pedicellus) consist of 22 or 23 segments. The scapus and pedicellus are bare, all other segments are covered in dense, thin setae that are as long as or longer than the antennal segment is wide. The terminal three segments have shorter and denser setae than the other segments. Each antennomere on the distal end projects ventrally slightly, so the overall antenna has a serrate appearance.

The meso- and metafemoral interior lobes span end to end, but are more heavily weighted towards the distal end, with the proximal end thin. The meso- and metafemoral exterior lobes have a similar shape to their interior lobe counterparts but are less angled than the interior lobe. The meso- and metafemoral interior and exterior lobes have two or three small teeth on the distal end, with the teeth of the mesofemoral interior lobe less prominent than the mesofemoral exterior lobe, and the metafemoral interior lobe more prominent than the metafemoral exterior lobe. The head and thorax base color are variable, ranging from vermillion to light orange, often muddled in color. The thorax is of a similar color pattern to the head, but with margins marked in a darker color, ranging from reddish to brown. The abdomen base color is of a similar muddled coloration to the head/thorax, but typically with darker markings. Segments II through VIII are marked near the middle with an undulating darker pattern, with the inner area a lighter, uniform color, and the remainder of the segment of a darker muddled coloration. Segments IX and X are mostly muddled brown without a distinct pattern. The abdomen is notably wide, with a maximum width only slightly less than the abdomen length. The widest point of the abdomen is abdominal segment V.

). Freshly hatched nymphs are quite active after they hatch, brightly colored, and travel from the forest floor up into the canopy, thus allowing them to be readily observed by citizen scientists. Unfortunately, the eggs of this species are presently unknown, as the eggs are lost within leaf litter and never observed/recorded. Hopefully a captive colony in India one day will reveal the unknown egg morphology of this species and allow differentiation from congenerics. Phylogenetic analysis and morphological comparison with congenerics have now allowed this commonly encountered species to be recognized as undescribed and endemic to southwestern India.

Within the southwestern Indian state of Kerala, the Malayali people call this species &quot;Pera Rani&quot; (meaning &quot;Queen of Guava plant&quot; in Malayalam) a fitting common name as phylliids are frequently observed by farmers of guava (pers. comm. Gavas Ragesh, Kerala Agricultural University). Local farmers additionally report this species as being observed on cashew and mango trees, but never in significant enough populations to be considered a pest. Of these three common agricultural plants, only mango is native to Asia (with the other two native to the tropics of the western hemisphere;
