This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
The species Arctopelopia melanosoma is represented in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset by various museum specimens.[1] As these are preserved specimens, detailed morphological traits such as wing venation and specific setal patterns are often obscured or require high-magnification examination. The specimens generally exhibit the characteristic slender, midge-like body form typical of the family Chironomidae.
Arctopelopia melanosoma (Goetghebuer, 1933) has been recorded in the Finnish fauna, specifically within the bioprovinces of Lkoc (KiL) and Lkor (SoL).[2]
