Anthomyzidae
Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Order: Diptera
- Family: Anthomyzidae
Visual Description
Anthomyzidae are generally small, slender flies, often characterized by their elongated body form.[1] Observations of specimens in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal that these flies typically possess narrow, often yellowish to brownish wings that may be held flat over the abdomen when at rest.[1] The head is often rounded, and the thorax and abdomen are frequently marked with darker longitudinal stripes or patterns.[1]
Morphology and Biology
The family Anthomyzidae is a group of acalyptrate flies.[2] Within the family, the genus Stiphrosoma is distinguished by features such as a pectinate arista, a well-developed subvibrissa, and a reduced presutural seta.[3] Some species within this genus exhibit wing polymorphism, ranging from fully winged to reduced-wing forms.[3]
