This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Apodicrania molinai exhibits the characteristic body plan of a phorid fly.[1] The specimens display a compact, hump-backed thorax typical of the family, with a relatively small head and prominent eyes. The wings are well-developed, showing characteristic venation patterns with thickened anterior veins, which is a diagnostic feature for many Phoridae. The body coloration is generally dark, ranging from brown to black, with visible setation (bristles) distributed across the thorax and abdomen.[1]
Apodicrania molinai is a species of fly in the family Phoridae. It was described by the entomologist Thomas Borgmeier in 1941.[2] Like other members of the Phoridae, it is part of the order Diptera.[3]
