Based on observations of museum specimens, Atylotus sphagnicola exhibits the general body form characteristic of the family Tabanidae.[1] The specimens display a robust, somewhat flattened thorax and abdomen, with prominent compound eyes typical of the genus.[1] The coloration appears generally muted, consistent with many species in this group, and the wings are clear with distinct venation patterns.[1]
Atylotus sphagnicola is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae. It was described by H.J. Teskey in 1984.[2] The species was formally reviewed as part of a study on eastern North American Atylotus species, which included keys for both adult and immature stages.
