This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Acridophagus flaviscutellaris exhibits characteristics typical of the family Mythicomyiidae.[1] The specimens appear as small, compact flies. Key visible traits include a rounded, somewhat globular thorax and a distinctively patterned or colored scutellum, which is consistent with the specific epithet flaviscutellaris. The wings are generally clear and held in a position that reveals the body's overall structure.[1]
Acridophagus flaviscutellaris (Roberts, 1929) is an accepted species within the family Mythicomyiidae.[2] It was originally described by F.H.S. Roberts under the basionym Cyrtomorpha flaviscutellaris in his 1929 revision of Australian Bombyliidae.[2]
