The adult sycamore lace bug is milky white in colour and between 3.2 and 3.7 mm (0.

13 and 0.15 in) in length. It is

similar in appearance to the cotton lace bug (Corythucha gossypii) and the Florida oak lace bug (Corythucha floridana),
but lacks the brown crescent-shaped band on the carina (ridge on the body-wall) of the former and is larger than the
latter. The only brown colour is a small spot on the protuberance on each elytron (wing-case).[2] The nymphs are oval in
shape, dorso-ventrally flattened, black and prickly.[3] This lace bug can most easily be distinguished from other species
by its presence on sycamore.[
