Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Athrycia trepida exhibits the characteristic morphology of a tachinid fly.[1] The specimens typically display a robust, bristly body, which is a common trait among members of the family Tachinidae. The coloration of the thorax and abdomen often includes patterns of grey or black, consistent with its classification within the subfamily Dexiinae.[4]
