Blue Corporal
Ladona deplanata
"Its face is light tan and
darkens with age. ... The thorax is brown, with two distinct
white stripes in front resembling a corporal's stripes. The wings
are clear, with only the basal brown area described above and
brown pterostigmata. The legs are brown ... The abdomen is strongly
depressed and brown, with a black middorsal stripe and carinae
outlined in black." (Abbott, p. 264)
The above, which matches Abbott's
Plate 53d, is the male, and this
is a female.
