Deleting the red edges (and erasing the red vertices), one gets the Cayley graph for the semidihedral group of order 16 with respect to the generator of the cylic group Z8 and the involution automorphism of Z8 (in the Cayley graph, one may draw one green edge for each involution instead of two directed edges). This group is a subgroup of the McGee group. https://groupprops.subwiki.org/wiki/Semidihedral_group:SD16 Pairs of opposite green edges, fixed by the other involutions of the McGee group (corresponding to the D16 subgroup, or extension of Z8 by the -1 involution) have midpoints of edges connected by a red edge to recover the McGee graph from the Cayley graph of SD16.
