DIAGNOSIS: Defined by the following characters: moderately small, body narrow, elongate (fig. 12); eyes medium to large; labium short, extending only to mesocoxae; dorsum with moderately dense distribution of pale to mediumbrown simple setae intermixed with scalelike setae; dorsum bright yellow-green or bright pale green, cuneus entirely concolorous with rest of hemelytra or with yellow inner margin and tip; forewing membrane uniformly light or dark gray-brown, without subcuneal clear spot (fig. 12A), veins orange or yellow, or partly concolorous with membrane, with color confined to vein (fig. 12); pygophore subquadrate, genital opening moderately large, round, dorsal margin weakly to moderately concave, sometimes with very small spinelike left lateral tergal process (fig. 17A–C); parameres both extend externally well beyond genital opening, meeting medially and enclosing phallotheca and aedeagus (fig. 17A–C); left paramere L-shaped, with large, bulbous, and serrate sensory lobe, apophysis elongate, broad, apex truncate and round with small, recurved hook (figs. 15B, C, 18B); right paramere C-shaped, apex moderately elongate, round, with expanded submedial dorsal lobe, apex and dorsal lobe with small spinelike serrations (figs. 15D, 18C); phallotheca simple, lightly sclerotized, lateral/dorsal margins reduced (figs. 15E, 18E); aedeagus with three elongate sclerotized spicules; PES left lateral to secondary gonopore and base tubular and
