Atrichopogon flavolineatus
Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Order: Diptera
- Family: Ceratopogonidae
- Genus: Atrichopogon
- Species: Atrichopogon flavolineatus
Visual Description
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Atrichopogon flavolineatus exhibits the general morphology characteristic of the family Ceratopogonidae.[1] The specimens are small, delicate flies with a compact body structure. They possess relatively large, prominent compound eyes and slender, multi-segmented antennae. The wings are typically clear or lightly patterned and are held folded over the abdomen when at rest. Due to the small size of these insects, finer morphological details such as specific wing venation patterns or thoracic setation are difficult to resolve from the available photographic material.[1]
Biology and Classification
Atrichopogon flavolineatus was originally described by Strobl in 1880 as Ceratopogon flavolineatus.[2] It is an accepted species within the genus Atrichopogon, which belongs to the family Ceratopogonidae, commonly known as biting midges. Genetic data for this species is tracked by NCBI under taxon ID 381072.[3]
