Treehoppers, due to their unusual appearance, have long interested naturalists. They are best known for their enlarged and ornate pronotum , expanded into often fantastic shapes that enhance their camouflage or mimicry , often resembling plant thorns (thus the commonly used name of "thorn bugs" for a number of treehopper species).
The basic colouration of the stocky body is dark-brown. The large protruding eyes are round and reddish-brown to red.
