A spectacular and rare Calopterygid, known only from fewer than a dozen of localities in Laos and
Vietnam. Not the rarest Odonata
species found at Tam Dao, but certainly the most impressive.
This is one of the largest Caloptera, equaled only by Archineura incarnata (Karsh, 1892) from China and the enigmatic "Echo" maxima Martin, 1904 from northern Vietnam.
One of the most memorable species I have been privileged to
see in Vietnam so far.
