Archytas scutellatus is a member of the family Tachinidae. Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, individuals exhibit the characteristic robust, bristly appearance typical of many tachinid flies.[1] The flies possess a prominent, well-developed scutellum and a dense covering of setae (bristles) on the thorax and abdomen, which are diagnostic features for the family.[1]
