Description
Chloronia is one of the three New World dobsonfly genera, the other two being Platyneuromus and Corydalus. Chloronia are easily distinguished by their bright yellow coloration with black spots and are present from Northern Mexico south to Eastern South America.[2] Chloronia frequently inhabit the same streams as Corydalus but prefer slower moving waters.[3] Their larvae are distinguishable by their dark head and four dark spots on their pronotum.[4]
