Atrichopogon hirsutipennis is a small biting midge. Observations of preserved specimens indicate a compact body form typical of the family Ceratopogonidae. The wings are characterized by a dense covering of fine hairs, a trait reflected in the specific epithet hirsutipennis. The body exhibits a dark, often brownish coloration, and the legs are relatively slender.[1]
