Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of the genus Allophylina (specifically Allophylina albitarsis) exhibit typical dipteran morphology.[1] Visible traits include a slender body structure and wings that are held folded over the abdomen when at rest. The legs appear relatively long and thin, and the overall coloration is generally muted, consistent with many heleomyzid flies.[1]
