Pantomorus cinerosus is characterized by the slender pronotum with thickened base and the very slender and elongate elytra, lacking humeri. It has two main morphotype, in the typical one the scaly vestiture is brown mixed with whitish, and there is a distinct white stripe along midline of pronotum and elytra. In roseomicans morphotype vestiture is uniformly grey with pinkish iridescence and has a light stripe along midline of pronotum and elytra. Elytral setae are suberect and longer towards the apex.
This species is probably parthenogenetic (Lanteri & Normark 1995) and is infected with the bacterium Wolbachia which induces parthenogenesis is several Naupactini (Rodriguero et al. 2010a).

Hyalis argentea D. Don ex Hook (= olivillo)(Asteraceae), which is a perennial shrub endemic of central-southern Argentina. It was also found associated with Citrus spp (Rutaceae), Medicago sativa L. (Fabaceae) and Eucalyptus sp (Myrtaceae) in Argentina (Lanteri 1994, Lanteri et al. 2002a), and with Citrus spp in Brazil (Silva et al. 1968, Guedes et al. 2005).
