This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Based on observations of museum specimens in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Anastrepha sylvicola exhibits the characteristic morphology of the genus Anastrepha.[1] The specimens display a typical tephritid body plan, featuring a patterned wing venation pattern often associated with this group. The body coloration is generally consistent with other members of the genus, showing shades of yellow to brown. Due to the nature of the preserved specimens, finer morphological details such as specific setal arrangements or subtle abdominal markings are difficult to resolve in these images.[1]
Anastrepha sylvicola was described by Frederick Knab in 1915.[2] It is an accepted species within the genus Anastrepha, a group of fruit flies known for their economic importance.[3] The species is recognized in taxonomic databases, with its original description published in Insecutor Inscitiae Menstruus.[3]
