Pygoda ramosa measures between 19—21mm in length and green above. It is characterized by a pronotum and scutellum with dark brown punctuation (sparser than in P. polyta or P. irrorata). The corium has sparse small yellow stains and yellow veins and is extremely branched (which gives the species its scientific name).[2]
