Afrocneros mundus is a species of fruit fly within the family Tephritidae. Observations of specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal characteristic tephritid morphology, including patterned wings with distinct dark markings and a robust thorax.[1] The wings exhibit a complex, reticulated or banded pattern typical of many fruit flies, which serves as a diagnostic feature. The body coloration is generally brownish or yellowish, consistent with other members of the genus.
