Males differ from females in having turbinate eyes. Description In common with other members of the genera ''Cloeon'' and '' Procloeon'', ''C. dipterum'' has a single pair of wings. This is also reflected in the specific epithet ''dipterum'', which is from the Latin ', meaning two, and the Greek ', meaning wing, and in his original description, Carl Linnaeus stated ' ("smaller wings hardly present").
