Overview
Allopiophila baechlii is a species of fly in the family Piophilidae. It was originally described by B. Merz in 1996 as Parapiophila baechlii [2].
Visual Description
The species is represented in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset by various museum specimens [1]. As a member of the family Piophilidae, it generally exhibits the characteristic morphology of "skipper flies," which are typically small, dark, and often shiny in appearance. Due to the limitations of the available digital records, specific diagnostic morphological traits cannot be resolved here; however, the specimens are consistent with the general habitus of the genus Allopiophila [1].
