Structure: Live insects bright green with a shiny dorsum, partially transparent near body margin. Body oval and symmetrical, 5.3–6.5 mm long, 4.6–5.2 mm wide. (Lin, et al., 2017)
Biology: All specimens were found on the underside of leaves of the host plant. No natural enemies, including parasitoids or predators, of A. cryptocaryae were found (Lin, et al., 2017)
