Visual Description
Anabarhynchus varipes is a stiletto fly characterized by a slender, elongated body typical of the family Therevidae. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset indicate that the species possesses a distinct, somewhat pointed head with prominent compound eyes. The thorax and abdomen are covered in fine, short setae (hairs). The wings are generally clear or slightly tinted, with a venation pattern characteristic of the genus. The legs are slender and often exhibit variation in coloration, which is reflected in the specific epithet varipes.[1]
