Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Order: Diptera
- Family: Limoniidae
- Genus: Amphineurus
Visual Description
Members of the genus Amphineurus are small, delicate flies characteristic of the family Limoniidae. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal that these insects typically possess slender, elongated bodies and long, thin legs, which are common features among many crane flies.[1] Their wings often exhibit distinct venation patterns and may show subtle pigmentation or mottling, which can be useful for identification.[1]
General Information
Amphineurus is a genus of crane flies within the family Limoniidae.[2] The genus was described by the entomologist Frederick Arthur Askew Skuse in 1890.[3] These flies are part of the diverse group of insects often studied in the context of biodiversity and conservation, particularly through the analysis of museum specimens and ecological parameters.[4]
