Amictus heteropterus is a species of bee fly in the family Bombyliidae. It was originally described by the French entomologist Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart in 1840.[2]
The visual characteristics of Amictus heteropterus are consistent with the general morphology of the genus Amictus within the Bombyliidae family. As observed in specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, these flies typically exhibit a robust, hairy appearance characteristic of many bee flies, which often mimics the appearance of bees.[1]
