Diagnose : Punaise brunâtre à roussâtre à la tête aussi longue que large recourbée en avant. Antennes dont l'article II dépasse l'apex du clypéus (nez). Une épaisse ligne longitudinale centrale blanche traverse le pronotum et s'étend sur presque tout le scutellum, mais n'est pas ceinturée de noir comme chez les Aelia. Les angles antérieurs du scutellum sont soulignés de lignes blanches allongées plus longues que le tiers de la longueur du scutellum.
Détermination : Moyennement difficile.
Espèces proches : Il s'agit de la plus grande espèce de Neottiglossa d'Europe. Les angles antérieurs du scutellum portent des « virgules » blanches beaucoup plus allongées que chez les autres espèces : elles atteignent entre le tiers et la moitié de la longueur totale du scutellum.
Période d'observation : Mai à octobre.
Biologie-éthologie : Elle vit probablement sur des graminées, mais en raison de la rareté de cette espèce, le relevé de ses plantes hôtes n'a pas encore été fait.
Biogéographie et écologie : Espèce rigoureusement méditerranéenne. Les observations ont toutes été réalisées dans des lieux chauds et secs : garrigues, friches et prairies. Espèce très rare. De plus, la plupart des observations font état de la capture d'un seul spécimen à chaque fois. La densité a été estimée au mieux à un spécimen par hectare.

Current distribution in metropolitan France
The map presents a reference distribution layer of the species at the scale of departments and marine sectors. The presence and absence data were established by expertise within a network of partners. This reference distribution is used in the validation process of the SINP data at the INPN level.

Certain presence
Corresponds to a report on the basis of at least one observation proved within a period of 10 years (20 years for little-known invertebrates) preceding the year and no presumption of extinction since obtaining the last data nor doubt on reproductive and implemented nature of this population. For migratory species, the presence indicated concerns areas of reproduction.
Probable presence
This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
search of species incomplete but presence of supportive environments;
ecology of the species consistent with the hypothesis of his presence;
the last reliable sighting is older than 10 years compared to the reference date, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [vertebrates, invertebrates and plants well studied (rhopalocera, grasshoppers, dragonflies ...)] ;
the last reliable observation being older than 20 years, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [poorly known taxa: fungus, many invertebrates...].
Probable or certain absence
This point covers the absence, more difficult by nature to demonstrate than presence. This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
intensive but unsuccessful targeted research;
lack of adequate environments;
unobserved species while its presence is easily detected;
unlikely presence for historical or biogeographical reasons.
This status must be assigned to a department in which the presence of the species is casual.
Absence due to a proven extinction
Particular case of absence due to a proven extinction less than a half century ago (older disappearances are treated as "no probable or definite").
No information
In the state of knowledge, we can not comment on the presence or absence in the current department. This is the default status when not comprised in one of the previous categories or whenever there is doubt.
