Van Duzee.[2] The species is recognized as one of 12 valid species within the genus Achradocera, which has been recently revised.[3]

Visual Description
While specific morphological traits are often documented in taxonomic literature, the available images from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset confirm the general habitus characteristic of the genus Achradocera.[1] These specimens exhibit the typical dipteran body plan, including compound eyes, a distinct thorax, and wings. Due to the resolution of the dataset imagery, finer diagnostic characters such as specific setation or genitalia structures cannot be resolved.[1]
