Apterae are bright red with black dorsal abdominal bands or patches, black SIPH held at right­angle to body, and black and yellow legs. We can find no significant differences between this species and the description of Bipersona hottesi , found on wild Rosa in Utah, other than the twisted cauda of the latter, so assume that this was an artefact of the mounting process.
