Measurements. total length: 14.6–17.2; head length: 2.1–2.3; head width: 3.3–3.6; pronotal width: 9.3–10.6; abdominal width: 7.4–9.1; length of antennal segments. I: 0.7–0.9; II: 0.7–0.9; III: 1.4–1.7; IV: 2.6–2.9; V: 2.7–2.9; interocular distance: 1.8–1.9; scutellum length: 6.8–7.7; scutellum width: 5.2–5.6; pronotal length: 3.3–3.8.
Diagnosis. Punctures of anterior part of scutellum not on dark spots (Fig. 19I). Connexivum uniformly green (Fig. 19I). Abdomen ventrally with dark green transverse stripes on intersegmental areas and pseudosutures (Fig. 19J). Pronotum with punctures light brown or concolorous, sparser on disc. Cicatrices of pronotum with concolorous to dark punctures delimiting anterior sulci. Anterolateral margin of pronotum punctured. Scutellum with apex not punctured (Fig. 19I). Black spot of costal margin reaching approximately 1/4 of corial extension. Dorsal surface of abdomen green with lateral margins brown. Connexivum with some few concolorous punctures concentrated in excavated areas (Fig. 19I). Male (Fig.11 A–C). Dorsal rim of pygophore shallowly excavated, with rectangular median notch (Fig. 11A). Inner wall with large tumescence close posterolateral angles (Fig. 11B). Superior process of genital cup elliptic (Fig. 11B). Paramere large, hatchet-shaped; posterior lobe not developed. Proctiger strongly excavated laterally forming a conspicuous dorsal ridge (Fig. 11A,B); dense tuft of setae on lateral excavation; posterior face triangular and small (Fig. 11B). Ventral rim central excavation widely open; expansions small, slightly dorsally bent, not reaching level of posterolateral angle in ventral view (Fig. 11C). Female (Fig. 11D). Gonocoxites 8 posterior margin arched; inner angle rounded slightly projected over gonocoxites 9; sutural border with distal half in “U”. Gonapophysis 8 widely exposed.
Comments. Bergroth (1891) related Edessa subrastrata to E. triangularis and E. affinis, but the morphological characteristics pointed by the author are, actually, shared by many species. Hypoxys triangularis is closer to H. subrastratus but is larger and has a smoky stripe on pronotum (Fig. 19E and 19I). Edessa affinis is smaller, its metasternal process has apices of the arms rounded and genitalia from both sexes are quite different from H. subrastratus. The male is described here for the first time.
