Key to West African Species
(modified from Linnavuori, 1982)
 

1     Small verdigris green species, length less than 14 mm; body narrow, convex, densely punctate; connexivum immaculate

2

-      Larger species, body broader, relatively depressed; connexivum at least in small species with black pattern

4
   

2(1) Length 11.5-12 mm; lateral margins of head and pronotum pale; body somewhat less convex, puncturing sparser; apical part of scutellum narrow, ligulate (S. Tomé)

malachitica Horváth

-      Length 12-14 mm; extreme lateral margins of head and pronotum blackish; bocy convex, puncturing very dense; apical part of scutellum relatively broad

horvathi Schouteden
   

3(1)  Body elongate; head broad, lateral margins distinctly insinuated basally, subparallel in middle, broadly recurved mesad apically; ground color of upper surface yellowish brown; puncturing very coarse, brown; length 14.5-15 mm

decellei Schouteden

-       Body broad; head elongate triangular, lateral margins nearly straight; puncturing concolorous, obsolete

4
   

4(3)  Small species, length 12.5-16.5 mm; head and anterior part of pronotum yellowish, the latter with a transverse row of four dark spots behind calli, rest of upper surface olivaceous

distincta Distant

-       Not as above

5
   

5(4)  Head, pronotum, and scutellum green; elytra, excluding the green costal margin, reddish brown; length 17-20 mm

variolaria Distant

-       Not as above

6
   

6(5)  Connexivum immaculate, green; length 16-19 mm

buonopoziensis (Palisot de Beauvois)

-       Connexivum with black pattern

7
   

7(6)  Puncturing of pronotum very dense, surface of disk therefore rugose, opaque; connexivum more or less black with round pale spot in middle of each segment; length 20-21 mm

thalassina (H.-S.)

-       Puncturing of pronotum more or less remote, superficial, disk shiny

8
   

8(7)  Pale greenish, with slight reddish tinge; the black lateral margins of head and pronotum bordered with pink or violet; only lateral margins and transverse segmental margins of connexival segments black; length 20-33 mm

rodhaini Schouteden

-       Coloring different

9
   

9(8)  Body broad; lateral margins of head and pronotum black, bordered with pale medially; scutellum with orange basal callosities; connexivum pale with elongate black rectangular on each segment, each rectangle reaching to posterior margin of segment; length 19-21 mm

cythereia Linnavuori

-       Body relatively elongate, upper surface green, only lateral margins of pronotum narrowly dark violet; basal scutellar callosities absent; median and transverse margins of paratergites broadly, lateral margins narrowly black; length 16.5-18 mm
