This long narrow leafhopper occurs as a fully brachypterous and as a macropterous form. The head is extended anteriorly as a narrow, usually ascending, process and the ovipositor extends beyond the apices of the pygofer. The species is known from a number of widely separated sites in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.

Diagnosis
When alive, metallic green, but fades after death to a shiny testaceous; tegmina and tergites more or less greyish metallic. Face pale sordid brownish, legs more or less marked with brown. Female: elongate, tapering anteriorly and posteriorly. Vertex about 3 times as long as wide between the eyes, anteriorly acuminate, somewhat ascendant. Frons 5-hedral, long-diamond .shaped, with a fifth side anteriorly, about as wide as clypeus, which is a trifle wider than the lorae: the latter do not quite reach the posterior margin of the genae. Tegmina very short truncate. Ultimate segment roundly produced, pygofers elongate, narrow, largely exposing the very long ovipositor. Length 6¼ mm, width about 1 mm. (Kirkaldy 1906).
