Anthomyia virgata is a fly species within the family Anthomyiidae. Observations of museum specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal characteristic features of the genus, including a robust body form typical of many anthomyiids.[1] The specimens exhibit a distinct pattern of dark markings on the thorax and abdomen, which is a common diagnostic trait for species in the genus Anthomyia. The wings are typically clear with well-defined venation, and the legs are dark and relatively slender.[1]
Anthomyia virgata was originally described by Paul Stein in 1911 under the basionym Chortophila virgata.[2] The species is currently accepted as a valid member of the genus Anthomyia.[2]
