Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of the genus Angeiomyia exhibit characteristics typical of gall midges.[1] They are small, delicate flies with slender bodies and relatively long, thin legs. The wings are typically transparent or lightly patterned and held in a characteristic position when at rest. The antennae are often long and moniliform, a common feature among cecidomyiids.[1]
