This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Members of the genus Antissa are characterized by a distinct, metallic, and often iridescent appearance. Observations of specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal a robust body form with a notably broad, rounded abdomen. The exoskeleton exhibits a metallic sheen, frequently displaying copper, bronze, or greenish hues that reflect light across the thorax and abdominal segments. The wings are generally clear or lightly tinted, with visible venation patterns typical of the family Stratiomyidae.[1]
