Description: External morphological characters as in generic description.

Male terminalia: Sternite VIII ( Fig. 5 View Figures 1-15 ), in ventral view, 1.5× wider than long; lateral margins slightly rounded and convergent posterad; posterior margin slightly undulated. Valve ( Fig. 7 View Figures 1-15 ), in ventral view, 2× wider than long; integument thickened on anterior margin only; posterior margin notched medially. Pygofer ( Fig. 8 View Figures 1-15 ), in lateral view, 1.8× longer than maximum height; ventral margin broadly round, bearing small setae; apex slightly tapered and round; macrosetae dispersed near apex and dorsal margin; in dorsal view ( Fig. 9 View Figures 1-15 ), apical portion of inner margin finely serrated, but not produced into process. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 8 View Figures 1-15 ), in lateral view, produced posteriorly almost as far as pygofer apex; in ventral view ( Fig. 10 View Figures 1-15 ), elongated, 4.5× longer than wide; lateral margins approximately straight; external margin and ventral surface bearing short setae; apex round. Connective ( Fig. 11 View Figures 1-15 ), in dorsal view, stalk present, wider than long; arms curved anterad, dorsal keel small. Style ( Fig. 12 View Figures 1-15 ), in dorsal view, with outer lobe well-developed, round; in lateral view ( Fig. 13 View Figures 1-15 ), blade elongated and sigmoid; external surface bearing small setae except on apical portion; apical portion with ventral margin serrated; apex slightly curved dorsally. Aedeagus ( Figs. 14, 15 View Figures 1-15 ) with preatrium reduced; dorsal apodeme not expanded laterally; atrial processes with dorsal and ventral margins almost parallel; apex tapered and rounded, curved inwards; shaft tubular and elongated, curved dorsally near base and straight distally; apex with one short subapical process on anterior surface, curved ventrally, and pair of slightly longer apical processes, with branched apex, directed ventrally.

Female: unknown.

Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the singular beauty of this leafhopper.
