Rob Cannings' 2002 monograph mentions a couple as yet undescribed Lasiopogon species close to L. cinctus from Spain. I'll ask him what he knows about them.

Oh, and I posted the following on the parent Asilidae forum, but I'll copy it here since you are the ones actually finding (and recognizing!) cool Lasiopogon this year:

I'm a PhD student working on a revision of Lasiopogon robber flies with Rob Cannings, using a combination of genetic and morphological analyses. While my focus is primarily on Nearctic species, I would love to include as many taxa as possible in the phylogeny, including from Europe. I already have some of the common Palearctic species, but more of everything is welcome. So, if you happen across any more Lasiopogon this spring/summer and are able to preserve them in alcohol, I would be delighted to hear from you and help arrange shipment. Please send me a private message if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Tristan
