Atrichopogon hesperius is a small dipteran insect. Based on examination of preserved museum specimens, the body exhibits the characteristic morphology of the family Ceratopogonidae, including a compact thorax and slender abdomen. The specimens show dark-pigmented wings and a generally robust, sclerotized body structure typical of the genus Atrichopogon [1].
