This species shows considerable variation concerning to the colouration of both sexes as well as the length of the tegmina and subgenital plate of ƤƤ. The pre-medial swelling of the mesothorax of ƤƤ can vary remarkably in this species but merely depends on whether the insects have or have not been feeding recently. It swells remarkably during the feeding process and shrinks again while the food is digested (see comments on variation of the genus

Culturing of stock originating in Malaita has shown the colouration of the capsule and micropylar plate to be highly variable within this species, and even the shape of the microyplar plate to show some deal of variation. All three examples shown in figures 48–50 were laid by the same captive reared Ƥ (coll. FH, No. 0513-7).

. Medium-sized, ovoid, capsule about 1.7x longer than wide and very slightly oval in cross-section. Capsule very minutely rugulose and strongly shiny. Micropylar plate gently raised above capsule surface, of moderate length and just a little more than half as long as capsule. Shape spear-like with the posterior third considerably narrowed and ± acute apically and the anterior 2/3 gradually narrowing towards a rather broadly rounded apex. Below microyplar cup with a shallow longitudinal bulge. Micropylar cup small, knob-like and placed slightly below centre of plate. Operculum roughly circular in cross-section, slightly raised and disc-like. In the centre with a rather prominent, knob-like pseudo-capitulum which has the dorsal surface distinctly pitted and the centre with a deep impression. General colouration of capsule very variable, usually cream to pale brown and all over but to a variable degree furnished with irregular washed brown markings. Occasionally, the dark brown mottling is reduced to form a bold C-shaped lateral marking (

): The unique egg extracted from the ovipositor of a Ƥ in coll. FH (No. 0513- 1) differs from all other known eggs by the larger size. From the first variety it differs furthermore by the slightly longer micropylar plate. The colouration is plain ochraceous with only a slender and wide C-shaped marking on each lateral surface of the capsule, However, as the colour is shown to be extremely variable in Malaita-stock, the colour pattern of this specimen may merely be an individual trait. Measurements [mm]: length (incl. operculum) 4.1, length 3.8, width 2.3, height 2.6, length of micropylar plate 2.8.
