Reinoud, I am not sure whether you are kidding or not but I hope you are not ;)

It makes sense!!!! :)

Lehr questioned the validity of Asilus versicolor and it was synonymised later with Templasilus bolivari (hope I am right). But Asilus versicolor was cited from Portugal and Templasilus bolivari from Madrid. It is possible that both have a much wider range than it was known in the old times but might be different species indeed :)

Honestly, Jorge's creature reminds me of Templasilus bolivari, but doesn't truly fit well enough. Well, at least not with just a lateral view. The best feature is the smoky wings but if there are two species indeed surely they share this character :)

Very interesting indeed :)
