About Dinia eagrus Cramer, 1779

Dinia eagrus is a species first described by Cramer in 1779. This species has a wingspan that reaches approximately 30 millimetres, or 1.2 inches. Most of its wing surface is hyaline, meaning glass-like and transparent. The only non-hyaline parts of the wings are the brown veins, the brown wing border, and a brown marking that crosses the forewings. Its body is flattened, broad, and covered in hair; it is colored black-brown and marked with several metallic blue stripes. The abdomen is long and black, with bright red coloring on its margins and its tip. Dinia eagrus can be found in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
