The male is brown with small white blotches on the legs, particularly on the hind tibiae. Some areas of the body and legs suggest the specimen may originally have been greenish in places. The head has a very dark brown line running from the eye to the back of the head. Costal margins of elytra and hind wings white. Body without any lobes or spines, mesonotum sparingly granulose, rest of body smooth.

When the HT was originally collected it laid one or more eggs. One of these was illustrated by Chan and the illustration was seen by Bragg in 1990. However attempts to locate the egg(s) or drawing have been unsuccessful. The following description is based on eggs removed from the body of the HT. Capsule and operculum smooth, mid brown with a pale brown line along the ventral extension.

Viewed from the opercular end these extensions curve in a clockwise direction, they also extend beyond the polar end of the capsule; the extension is not present on the micropylar plate. Micropylar plate oval, positioned at about the mid point of the egg, near the polar end of the main capsule.

pattern. The main capsule, operculum, and capitulum appear to be more or less typical but the large extensions on the dorsal and ventral surfaces radically alter the appearance. There are several possible evolutionary advantages of this egg shape. Related species are known to drop or flick their eggs from height. The extensions to the capsule undoubtedly increase air resistance and hence slow the fall of the egg which would offer two advantages: impact with the ground is lessened, reducing risk of damage and a slow descent would increase the dispersal by the wind. Other possibilities are that air trapped in the curved extensions would help keep the egg afloat in the event of flooding, and that the extensions would increase the chances of the egg becoming trapped in crevices above the ground.
