Based on observations of preserved specimens, Argyra cylindrica exhibits the characteristic body form of the family Dolichopodidae, often referred to as long-legged flies. The specimens display a slender, elongated abdomen, which is consistent with the specific epithet cylindrica. The body exhibits a metallic or reflective sheen, a common trait among members of the genus Argyra. The wings are typically clear and held in a position that reveals the characteristic venation patterns of the family. The legs are notably long and slender, facilitating their movement on various surfaces.[1]
