Notes. The species is characteristic in bright coloration (with greenish, orange, yellow and red tint), narrow vertex, antennal grooves' dorsal margin slightly or at the lower margin of the compound eyes (antennae not between the eyes), lateral ocelli below the mid of the compound eyes height, strong and spiky second frontolateral projections (FL2), long and spiky ventrolateral spine, pronotum with indistinct MMs weak MMLs, humeral angles oblique, not armed with ML or bearing weak metalateral tubercle, prolonged femora, ventral margin of the hind femora without lappets, weakly widened hind tibiae and not widened hind tarsi. This species is similar to S. hexodon and S. marta sp. nov. in coloration, but not so much in morphology of pronotum—it has much shorter projections than species of Scelimena hexodon species group have. Contrary to other Paramphibotettix species, it lacks strong frontomedial projection.
