Visual Description
Amphineurus bicinctus is a species of crane fly. Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, individuals exhibit the characteristic slender, elongated body form typical of the family Limoniidae.[1] The wings are notably long and narrow, often displaying a delicate, patterned venation. The legs are exceptionally long and fragile in appearance, a common trait among crane flies. The body coloration typically includes shades of brown or yellowish-brown, which may provide camouflage in their natural habitats.[1]
Distribution and Classification
Amphineurus bicinctus was described by F.W. Edwards in 1923 as part of his revision of New Zealand crane flies.[2] It is an accepted species within the genus Amphineurus.[2]
