Visual Description
Aphoebantus cervinus is a species of bee fly within the family Bombyliidae. Observations of preserved specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset reveal several characteristic morphological features.[1] The body is covered in dense, fine pubescence, typical of many bombyliids, which gives the insect a somewhat fuzzy appearance. The wings are generally clear or lightly infuscated, with distinct venation patterns characteristic of the genus Aphoebantus. The abdomen is elongated and cylindrical, often displaying a pattern of light and dark bands or patches formed by the arrangement of the setae.[1]
