Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of the genus Aphria exhibit a typical tachinid body plan, characterized by a robust, bristly appearance.[1] The flies possess a distinctively elongated proboscis, a feature often visible in specimens.[1] The thorax and abdomen are covered in numerous dark, prominent setae (bristles), which are diagnostic of the family Tachinidae.[1]
General Information
Aphria is a genus of flies within the family Tachinidae, first described by Robineau-Desvoidy in 1830.[2] The genus includes several species, such as Aphria latifrons, which has been documented in the Palaearctic region, including recent reports from the Canary Islands.[3] Genetic data for this genus is available through public databases such as NCBI.[4]
