Their basic color ranges from beige to light to dark brown and can appear somewhat orange or pink.

In addition to darker triangles, which occur primarily in the nocturnal coloration, large, completely white areas can also appear on patterns, for example on the entire pro- and mesonotum and the anterior and posterior segments of the abdomen.

Occasionally there is a narrow, dark longitudinal stripe, which can run down the center of the upper body to the end of the abdomen.

On the head, the anterior coronals are particularly striking, forming greatly enlarged, comb-like, swollen, mostly tridentate structures.

The forewings, which are designed as tegmina, reach up to a good half of the second abdominal segment, are brownish on top and are sometimes patterned.

The very short tegmina are uniformly dark brown with a bright apple-green front edge.

The first specimen a female was collected in the early 1970s in the Indonesian province of Atjeh in Ketambe by H. D. Rijksen at an altitude of about 350 metres (1,150 ft) and deposited in the then National Museum of Natural History in Leiden (today Naturalis Biodiversity Center).

First of them were collected in November 2010 near the Mount Sibayak at an altitude of 1,400 to 1,600 metres (4,600 to 5,200 ft) by Jimmy Gideon Ginting.

Males and females can be distinguished immediately after hatching by the number of lateral lobes on the abdomen.

In the case of disturbance, the abdomen is set up in an arched manner or even pushed under the front body.

Adult animals show the threatening behavior typical of short-winged species of this genus.

A physiological color change can sometimes be observed, with the females in particular showing darker markings at night.

The specimens were found in nature on trees of the genus Ficus and on Rubus moluccanus, a species widespread in Southeast Asia.

The adult female specimen collected in the early 1970s in north-west Sumatra by H. D. Rijksen was chosen as the holotype.

In addition to four paratypes that are in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, a larger number of paratypess of both sexes are deposited in the private collections of three of the four authors.

The ones in the collection of Francis Seow-Choen were found in 2013 at the edge of the Sibolangit botanical garden in Brestagi and in 2014 on a roadside to Danau Toba.
