Distinguishing features

The male tropical rockmaster has a bright blue and black body with dark wings. It can be distinguished from the Sapphire Rockmaster (Diphlebia coerulescens) by the smaller size of blue markings at the base (front end) and underside of terga 4 to 6. Its abdomen is otherwise black. The wings are the widest in the genus, and the hindwings are wider than the forewings. The legs are brownish black. The female tropical rockmaster is predominantly brown and yellow-green, and also has smoky-coloured wings. (Wikipedia)
