Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Allotrichoma simplex is a small fly typical of the family Ephydridae.[1] The specimen exhibits a dark, robust thorax and abdomen. The wings are clear with distinct venation, and the compound eyes are relatively large in proportion to the head. The legs are dark and appear slender.[1]
Taxonomic History
Allotrichoma simplex was originally described by H. Loew in 1861 as Discocerina simplex.[2] A recent revision of the New World species of the genus Allotrichoma designated a lectotype for the species. Furthermore, Allotrichoma filiforme Becker, A. trispinum Becker, and A. dahli Beschovski have been established as new synonyms of Allotrichoma simplex.[3]
