Remarks

Biology: All female nymphal stages were found on August 6, at the type locality, therefore Richards (1964) supposed that due to the short growing season, this species may develop one generation in more than one year.
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Richrds (1964), Kosztarab (1996) and by Gertsson & Hodgson (2005).
