Chlorocypha aphrodite, common name Blue Jewel, is a species of jewel damselfly in the family Chlorocyphidae.[1][2]
The insect inhabits streams and rivers in the central African rainforest about the northern Congo River basin, with a confirmed range in northern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, and adjacent portions of Gabon, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic.[3]
The IUCN assessed Chlorocypha aphrodite as "least concern" on its Red List of Threatened Species, with no immediate threat to the species' survival. Logging is a concern. The IUCN assessment was published in 2017.[1]
