This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Based on observations of preserved specimens in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, members of the genus Austrosynapha exhibit the characteristic morphology of fungus gnats (family Mycetophilidae).[1] They possess slender, elongated bodies and long, delicate legs typical of the family. The wings are generally clear or lightly tinted, with distinct venation patterns that are diagnostic for the genus. The thorax is often arched, and the head features prominent, well-developed eyes.[1]
