[1][6] Fraser described C. aurantiacum from southern India[2] but later concluded that it was a subspecies or race of C.

[7] Asahina in his revision of Asian Ceriagrion compared both the specimens and decided to retain the race, stating the subapical tooth of superior caudal appendages differently shaped.

[9] It is a medium-sized damselfly with olivaceous brown capped greenish eyes.

The inferiors are sloping strongly up to meet the superiors, broad at base and tapering to a point.

[7] It breeds in slow running marshy streams, ponds, and swamps.
