Acanthacorydalis imperatrix is a species of dobsonfly found in Laos and Vietnam.[1]
Description
This species was described based on a single female specimen from Vietnam.[2] Since then, more specimens have been collected, including at least one male.[3] It is most similar to A. fruhstorferi and A. sinensis because of their large size and dark coloration. A. imperatrix has some yellow markings on the vertex of the head.[2]
