The species Aphamartania maculipennis is characterized by the excessive development of the male aedeagus, which is described as very long and strongly developed, making it the most characteristic species of the genus.[2] While morphological observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset are limited due to the nature of the available imagery, the species is distinct from its close relative Aphamartania breviventris (Macquart, 1848) based on these specific genital structures.[1][2]
Aphamartania pritchardi Carrera, 1943 is considered a synonym of Aphamartania maculipennis (Macquart, 1838).[2]
