In common with other members of the genera Cloeon and Procloeon, C. dipterum has a single pair of wings.[3] This is also reflected in the specific epithet dipterum, which is from the Latin di-, meaning two, and the Greek pteron, meaning wing, and in his original description, Carl Linnaeus stated Inferiores alæ vix existunt ("smaller wings hardly present").[4]

abstract	In common with other members of the genera Cloeon and Procloeon, C. dipterum has a single pair of wings.[3] This is also reflected in the specific epithet dipterum, which is from the Latin di-, meaning two, and the Greek pteron, meaning wing, and in his original description, Carl Linnaeus stated Inferiores alæ vix existunt ("smaller wings hardly present").[4] The compound eyes of C. dipterum show a striking sexual dimorphism, whereby females have lateral apposition eyes, while the males' eyes have an additional dorsal "turban-shaped" parts that function as superposition eyes.[5] These extra eyes are thought to enable the males to locate isolated females in the mating swarm.
