Would it be possible to put at name to this Asilidae? It reminds me of Pycnopogon I photographed somewhere else.
Photographed at Col du Zad, Middle Atlas in Morocco on 31 May 2022.
Altitude 2200 meters
Thank you!
Johan

Pycnopogon sp. looks right.

Thank you, Chris!

I have now found this article,

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359909389_Catalogue_of_the_Diptera_Insecta_of_Morocco-an_annotated_checklist_with_distributions_and_a_bibliography

A catalogue of the Diptera of Morocco.

It lists Acnephalum, not Pycnopogon, with 3 species.

Acnephalum Macquart, 1838
= Pycnopogon Loew, 1847 in Londt 2010
Acnephalum apiformis (Macquart in Lucas, 1849)
Acnephalum denudatus (Séguy, 1949)
Acnephalum fasciculatus (Loew, 1847)

So I assume it should be Acnecephalum then.

The Pycnopogon species were moved to Acnephalum by Londt, but most workers don't accept this (including myself).

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
