Chloronia hieroglyphica is a species of dobsonfly found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Venezuela and possibly Argentina and Panama.[1]
Description
This species resembles other members of the C. hieroglyphica species group C. bogotana and C. banksiana. All three have a primitive 10th tergite and 9th sternum, but C. hieroglyphica has a more specialized, shouldered 10th gonostylus and an attenuate ninth gonostylus. The length of the male forewing is 29–40 mm and the length of the female forewing is 25–42 mm.[2]
The larvae of dobsonflies are rarely described, but the larvae of C. hieroglyphica are among the few that has a fully described larval stage.[2][3]
