It is a small dragonfly with blue eyes.
Its thorax is azure-blue marbled with black to form a beautiful pattern on the dorsum and the sides.
Abdomen is azure-blue, marked with black.
Segments 1 to 5 have sutures finely and ventral borders more broadly black.
There is a dorsal stripe which broadens at the jugal sutures and apical borders of segments.
There is a speckled stripe on sub-dorsum of segments 1 to 4.
There is a large ventro-lateral spot on each of segments 3 to 5.
Segments 6 and 7 are black with a large spot of blue on each side.
Segments 8 to 10 are entirely black.
Anal appendages are bluish-white.
Female is similar to the male; but with greenish-yellow eyes, thorax and abdominal segments up to 5.

The characteristic shape of the abdomen will serve to distinguish this species from other Libellulidae.
