- Class: Insecta
- Order: Diptera
- Family: Rhagionidae
- Genus: Arthroceras
- Species: Arthroceras fulvicorne
Visual Description
Arthroceras fulvicorne is a species of fly within the family Rhagionidae. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset indicate that the adult fly possesses a slender body form typical of many rhagionids.[1] The thorax and abdomen exhibit a brownish coloration, and the wings are generally clear with distinct venation patterns.[1]
Biology and Ecology
The family Rhagionidae, to which Arthroceras fulvicorne belongs, is a basal lineage of Brachycera.[2] Members of this family exhibit diverse larval feeding habits, including predation, detritivory, and bryophyte-feeding.[2]
