This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Aphanotrigonum femorellum exhibits the general morphology characteristic of the family Chloropidae [1]. The specimens are small, typical of the genus, with a compact body structure and distinct, compound eyes [1]. The coloration is generally muted, consistent with many grassflies, and the wings are clear with characteristic venation patterns [1].
Aphanotrigonum femorellum Collin, 1946 is a species of grassfly (family Chloropidae) that can be distinguished from related species within the genus by the presence of a short black spur on the hind tibia [2].
The species has a wide distribution, with occurrences recorded in Europe, Asia (extending eastwards to Mongolia), and North Africa (Tunisia) [2]. It has also been recorded in Egypt, where specimens were collected from a lawn in a hotel garden in Assouan [2]. According to Klausnitzer’s classification, A. femorellum is considered a hemerodiaphore, indicating it is largely independent of anthropogenic landscape changes [2].
