Description
Medium-sized metallic shiny dragonflies (main color is orange-yellow, head is grayish-brown), pterostigma is yellowish. Body length about 4 cm, wing - about 3 cm. Width of the rear wing 18.5 - 20.5 mm. The species was first described in 2015 by the entomologists Klaas-Dijkstra ( Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra ; Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden , The Netherlands ), Jens Kipping ( Jens Kipping ; BioCart Environmental Consulting, Taucha / Leipzig , Germany ) and Nicolas Mézière; Kourou , French Guiana ). This taxon was previously mixed with Ceriagrion sakejii and Ceriagrion suave species, but it is closer to the species Ceriagrion bakeri in its ecology, genetics and morphology [1] .
