General Information
Alepia is a genus of moth flies (family Psychodidae, subfamily Psychodinae) established by Enderlein in 1937 [2]. It is a Neotropical group [3].
Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of the genus Alepia exhibit the characteristic appearance of moth flies, with wings typically covered in fine hairs or scales.[1] Due to the limitations of the available imagery, finer morphological details such as specific wing venation patterns or genital structures cannot be resolved.[1]
