Calopteryx angustipennis is a species of damselfly in the family Calopterygidae known commonly as the Appalachian jewelwing.
It is distinguishable from other jewelwing species by the absence of dark coloration on the wings.
In females, the abdomen coloration is less vibrant, with an especially dull tip, and some areas of the thorax are pale brown.
[2] The Appalachian jewelwing is found near rocky rivers and large streams throughout the southeastern and eastern United States, from Alabama to New York.
[3] The Appalachian jewelwing typically perches in a horizontal position on riffles or vegetation along banks, often in small, scattered groups.
