This species occurs in undergrowth vegetation (20 cm- 1 m), often in groups of few specimens. We observed this species on monocots (tall herbaceous plants, Dracaena sp., and also on small palm trees, Pandanus sp., etc.). Juveniles were seldom observed on ferns.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS (EMENDED). — Hind femur upper carina with a weak concavity before the knee (Fig. 1D; N.B.: this non sexual character seems valid on the examined specimens, but should be used with caution).</p> <p>Male. Penultimate abdominal tergite (tergite 10) with well-distinct rounded furculae (Fig. 1F). Supra-anal plate with lateral bulges (Fig. 1F, arrow). Supra-anal plate with long posterior median projection (Fig. 1F).</p> <p>Epiphallus: interspace between lophi at least twice as wide as lophi width (Fig. 3A). Dorsal valves exceeding ventral valves (Fig. 3D).</p> <p>In mature males, hind femora blue/green (inner and outer fields).</p> <p>REDESCRIPTION</p> <p>In addition to generic characters: hind femur upper carina with a weak concavity before the knee (Fig.1D).</p> <p>Male</p> <p>Penultimate abdominal tergite (tergite 10) with well-distinct rounded furculae (Fig. 1F).

Dorsal valves exceeding ventral valves (Fig. 3D).</p> <p>Females</p> <p>It is not clear whether the females display useful characters at the species level. Terminalia are illustrated Figure 3E, F.</p> <p>General colouration of adults green (more or less yellowish; badly preserved specimens are darker such as the holotype; Fig. 4); hind tibia red or purple, tibial spines with black apex; hind knees dorsally yellowish. In mature males, fore and mid femora green with sometimes the middle reddish; hind femur blue/green (inner and outer fields); hind tibia proximally darker. In females, middle of fore and mid femora sometimes reddish; inner field of hind femur sometimes purple. Non adult specimens entirely lack green, blue and red colour; these are brown on the sides with a cream band on the dorsum (from fastigium to Prn and often to abdomen apex); Prn lateral carinae light cream; outer median field of FIII with some dark pattern.</p> <p>REMARK</p> <p>Two male specimens from Espiritu Santo identified as Hebridea sp. by David Hollis are in NHM collections.
