Chloronia bogotana is a species of dobsonfly found in Colombia and possibly also Bolivia, Equador, Peru, and Venezuela.[1]
Description
This species is almost identical to Chloronia banksiana, even in the male genitalia.[2] It can be distinguished from other Chloronia by a pair of posterolateral occipital bands on the head, a dark spot at the base of fore tibiae, and a male ninth abdominal sternum with strongly developed lateral lobes.[3] The forewing length of the male is 36 mm.[2]
