Visual Description
Apatolestes is a genus of horse flies within the family Tabanidae.[2] Based on observations of specimens in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of this genus exhibit a robust, fly-like body form typical of the family.[1] Key visible traits include a pair of large, prominent compound eyes and a set of functional wings that extend beyond the abdomen.[1] The body is often covered in fine, dense setae (hairs), which can give the insect a somewhat fuzzy appearance.[1]
