Androprosopa waha is a small dipteran, consistent with the general morphology of the family Thaumaleidae, which typically ranges from 1.5 to 5.0 mm in length [2]. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset indicate that the species exhibits a stalky body form and broad wings, characteristic of the family [1]. The coloration observed in these specimens is generally dark brown, and the antennae possess a short flagellum [1] [2].
Androprosopa waha (Arnaud & Boussy, 1994) is a species of thaumaleid midge, a group often referred to as madicolous, seepage, or trickle midges [3] [2]. Adults are typically found in specialized microhabitats such as rock-face seepages, waterfall margins, and the splash zones of cascading streams [2]. Like other members of the family, they have limited dispersal abilities and are relatively rarely collected [2].
