Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Habitat and flight season. In the Tongbiguan Nature Reserve Coeliccia furcata was found in seepages beside a clean montane stream in forest. Individuals of both sexes usually perch on plants above seepages and seldom fly. In overcast conditions females are more commonly seen than the males. Mating behaviour was observed in the afternoon. This is a shy species that always perches in shady places. It is also a rather late season species, seen from September to the end of November. Species co-occurring with C. furcata include Calicnemia erythromelas (Selys, 1891), Coeliccia chromothorax (Selys, 1891) and Echo margarita Selys, 1853.
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Coeliccia furcata is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, freshwater, mountain, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Coeliccia furcata.
