Maiestas vetus is a species of bug from the Cicadellidae family that is indigenous to Australia and New Zealand.

Sometimes they have two longitudinal bands which are pale orange coloured and are located on top of the disc.

Their clypellus is parallel, and has a margin that is adjacent to its gena, which is a bit wider than ocellucular part.

The other difference is the complete absence of dark brown spots, which are located on the anterior margin of the vertex.

Just like Recilia hospes,[3] the species were found in grass, sedges, shrubs, and on plants in the genus Nothofagus in New Zealand.
