Agkistrocerus megerlei is a species of horse fly within the family Tabanidae. Based on observations of museum specimens, the species exhibits a robust, fly-like body typical of the family. Key visible traits include large, prominent compound eyes that dominate the head, and a thorax and abdomen covered in dense, short setae. The wings are well-developed and membranous, with characteristic venation patterns typical of Tabanidae. The coloration of the body appears to be a mix of dark brown and lighter, yellowish-brown tones, providing a mottled appearance.[1]
