About Lyramorpha rosea Westwood, 1837

Based on John O. Westwood's original 1837 species description of Lyramorpha rosea, this insect has pink legs and antennae. The species name rosea refers to this pink coloration in Latin. The margins of its thorax and hemelytra are bronze, and the underside of its body is greenish-yellow. Westwood recorded the total body length as 11 lines. In entomological terms, one line is equal to one-twelfth of an inch, so 11 lines equals approximately 0.917 inches, or approximately 2.328 centimeters.
