One genus known to North America. This medium size skimmer upon maturity becomes
entirely red in coloration with a black dorsal strip running down it's abdomen
Females and juveniles males have a pale yellowish-brow thorax with a white
shoulder stripe and white area between the two wings, the abdomen is also yellow
with a black dorsal stripe. Each hind-wing has a small faint basal spot to
it.
This is a classy bug as the photograph displays and a favorite of many because of
it's red iridescent coloring.
