Platycnemididae - Coeliccia albicauda

Platycnemididae - Coeliccia albicauda (Forster, 1907)

Coeliccia albicauda is unique on its thorax blue marking - double pair dots. Coeliccia didyma also has the similar blue marking on thorax, but C. albicauda can be differentiated from didyma by having creamy white anal appendages. It is normally found at slow flowing forest streams.
