Acnemia psylla is a small fly characteristic of the family Mycetophilidae. Observations of specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal a slender, delicate body structure typical of fungus gnats.[1] The specimens exhibit long, thin legs and elongated antennae. The wings are generally clear or slightly smoky, with visible venation patterns consistent with the genus Acnemia. The thorax is often arched, and the overall coloration tends toward brownish or yellowish tones, which may provide camouflage in their typical forest or fungal habitats.[1]
Acnemia psylla is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae. It was originally described by the entomologist Hermann Loew in 1870.[2] As members of the family Mycetophilidae, the larvae of this genus are typically associated with fungi, where they feed on fungal tissue or decaying organic matter.
