I was kidding but checked Meigen 1830, it says the wings are clear of versicolor ; (

Well, let's wait for a dorsal view from Jorge's creature :) We might see the true
T. bolivari then ;)

But i have got a female bolivari from Portugal so it is now well documented that the species is present in Portugal the specimen i have is from the North! Campo Valongo
And also a picture exists of a typical male
T. bolivari from Portugal. And that one fits to perfection. I didn't have any doubt it exists in Portugal ;) It is just Jorge's creature what is driving me crazy. There are so many little features that don't fit the reference material that the possibility of a true
Asilus versicolor almost became reality ;) Might be part of the variability of the species though...
PS: Wait a minute... if
Asilus versicolor has clear wings... why was it synonymised with
Templasilus bolivari? That is supposed to be a typical feature of the species, isn't it??
And as
Templasilus bolivari was described later... shouldn't it have kept the older name??
This is what I love of Asilidae!!! Nothing is easy!! :D :D :D B)
