This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Allograpta dravida exhibits the characteristic slender, wasp-mimicking body form typical of many hoverflies in the genus Allograpta. Observations of specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal a distinct abdominal pattern consisting of alternating yellow and black transverse bands. The thorax is generally dark with longitudinal yellow or pale lateral stripes. The wings are clear and held in a characteristic position when at rest. These traits are consistent with the general morphology of the genus, which often features bright, warning-like coloration patterns.[1]
