Measurements. total length: 14.0–20.1; head length: 1.9–2.8; head width: 3.0–4.0; pronotal width: 8.4–13.0; abdominal width: 7.6–10.4; length of antennal segments. I: 0.7–1.1; II: 0.8–1.9; III: 1.3–1.8; IV: 2.6–4.9; V: 3.0–4.4; interocular distance: 1.6–2.0; scutellum length: 6.3–9.9; scutellum width: 4.9–7.1; pronotal length: 3.1–4.4.

Diagnosis. head and pronotal disc green, sometimes with small yellow calli ( Fig. 19E ); scutellum and corium ferruginous ( Fig. 19E ). Posterior stripe of pronotum reddish brown; punctures concolorous to light brown on disc and black on posterior stripe ( Fig. 19E ). Anterior part of scutellum with punctures on dark spots. Connexivum green to reddish brown. Body ventrally with many yellow little calli ( Fig. 19F ). Cicatrices of pronotum with concolorous punctures delimiting anterior sulci. Anterolateral margin of pronotum not punctured. Scutellum with apex punctured. Corium with black spot of costal margin reaching approximately 1/3 of corial vein extension. Dorsal surface of abdomen yellow with brown transverse stripes ( Fig. 19F ). Connexivum with black punctures concentrated in excavated areas separated by undeveloped callosity. Connexival segments with posterior margin dark including segment VII ( Fig. 19E ). Body ventrally coarsely rugose. Male ( Fig. 9 A–C). Pygophore with dorsal rim widely excavated ( Fig. 9A ). Superior process of genital cup rounded, small, concave ( Fig. 9B ). Paramere elongate, anterior lobe truncated, posterior lobe rounded and barely developed ( Fig. 9B ). Proctiger with narrow, shallow transverse excavation; excavation densely setose; posterior face ogival and concave ( Fig. 9B ). Ventral rim central excavation shallowly excavated; expansion small and rounded almost reaching level of posterolateral angles in ventral view ( Fig. 9C ). Female ( Fig. 9D ). Gonocoxites 8 usually with some yellow calli; posterior margin sinuous, lateral angle with a small tooth adjacent to a small yellow conical protuberance. Gonapophyses 8 barely exposed.

Comments. Dallas (1851) described Edessa triangularis but did not related it to any species. Stål (1859) cited affinities between E. scabriventris and E. quadridens . Breddin (1904a) described E. leprosula based on a female from Rio Grande do Sul ( Brazil) and indicated its similarity with E. quadridens and E. scabriventris . In this work, the species E. scabriventris and E. leprosula are synonymized with H. triangularis . The names leprosula and scabriventris are related to small whitish callosities that covers the body of these species, which gives a granular appearance, such condition is unique in Edessinae . However, this characteristic varies among populations, and may even be absent. The male is described here for the first time.
