Visual Description
Anthrax pithecius is a bee fly characterized by a robust, somewhat flattened body covered in dense, hair-like setae. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal a distinct, dark, mottled pattern on the wings, which is a common trait among members of the genus Anthrax.[1] The body coloration typically features a mix of black and brownish tones, often with patches of lighter, yellowish or whitish hair, particularly on the thorax and abdomen.[1]
