Details

Easy to recognize by the unique shape of the wing and tip. Nice large species, on average 120 - 150 mm, but 170 mm also occurs. There are 2 forms in gallus. The Caribbean shape has a slender top with a shorter siphon. The Brazilian shape has a more robust top and a longer siphon. The reason for these differences is unknown and needs further investigation.
