Anastoechus rubricosus is a species within the family Bombyliidae, commonly known as bee flies. Members of this genus are typically characterized by their robust, often hairy appearance, which mimics bees. Due to the limitations of the available image data, specific diagnostic morphological traits such as wing venation patterns or precise setal arrangements cannot be resolved at this time.[1]
Anastoechus rubricosus was originally described by the entomologist C.R.W. Wiedemann in 1821, under the name Bombylius rubricosus. It is currently recognized as an accepted species within the genus Anastoechus.[2]
