Visual Description
Acanthocera bequaerti specimens exhibit the characteristic robust, fly-like morphology typical of the family Tabanidae. Observations of preserved specimens reveal a distinct, somewhat flattened body shape. The wings are prominent and often display characteristic venation patterns consistent with the genus. The head features large, compound eyes, which are a diagnostic trait for many horse flies. The coloration observed in preserved material is generally muted, reflecting the loss of some integumentary pigments post-mortem, but the structural features, including the antennae and thoracic sclerites, remain clearly defined.[1]
