Description

Because Poecilimon species are often brightly coloured, they may be called "bright bush crickets", although some are mostly green. As with many Orthoptera, colouration can be misleading, with variability within species. Often there is a stripe behind the eyes, dorsally dark and can extend beyond the pronotum.[4] The fastigium is broader to narrower than the scapus. The pronotum is often shiny, smooth, and often rounded dorsally. These insects are often brachypterous and females can be apterous. In the males, the cerci are very different, but are always more or less conical in the females. The ovipositor is always straight and slightly curved upwards and serrated. The antennae are monochrome or ringed and about three times as long as the body.
