Populicerus telus

Resembling pallidus in form and appearance but with different male genitalia. White tinged with green without dark markings, basal angles of scutellum yellowish. Elytra subhyaline, veins tinted with green. Face pale. Antennal discs large, black, ovate. Genitalia: Male plates elongate, rather narrow. Styles slightly broadened near apex then rapidly narrowed to a pointed apex. Each style bears a prominent spine just before apex. Ventral portion of aedeagus tapered from base to apical fifth which is broadened by a pair of prominent spines which are webbed to the main aedeagus shaft. These spines slope almost to apex giving the head portion a triangular appearance, with a blunt apex. The dorsal portion is shorter and constricted at middle between a rather broad base and a broader, diamond shaped apex. The latter has a pointed apical margin, and a broadened pointed lateral margin on each side. (DeLong & Hershberger, 1947) The only note from Freytag (1965) on the synonymy with Idiocerus pallidus does not mention the distinctive genitalia, which are noted in the original description and Hamilton (1980): The specimens which lack the antennal disc in males, previously identified as telus , are now considered to be but a variant of pallidus .
