Nope :) For instance
D. harpax has them also, but little shorter and the shape of an ovipositor is much different. On the other hand a similar ovipositor have females of
D. fuscipennis, but not so elongated as
D. picipes and hair are barely visible. At first I meant to emphasize the most striking feature - the length of hair, which is characteristic for this species. Nevertheless you should always pay attention to the shape of an ovipositor. It's is a well distinguishing feature within females of
Dysmachus, which is quite untypical for
Asilinae.
