During my excursion to the South of Oman this September, I saw quite a number of Asilidae (I hope) and would be very happy if you could help me to sort them out (or even better - ort them in). The region is defined by the huge Omani dessert inland, the Indian Ocean and a small strip of land between those, which is regularly watered by a summerly monsun. Huge biodiversity, although we where a little late and missed a lot . The Asilidae came in two sizes, a larger ones around 14-17mm, and smaller ones with 10mm or even less - but with wonderfül eyes. 22-SEP-2023, parking space in aride landscape 600m above sea level, 8-10mm Joerg Schneider attached the following image:  [117.5Kb] Edited by Joerg Schneider on 11-11-2023 15:40 |

Similar to the individual before, but I also seem to see differences

Hi both, Could this (also) be Trichardis cf. leucocomus (van der Wulp, 1899)? Best, Jonne |

Thank you, Jonne - would you expect both flies (Green-eyed, blue-eyed) to be from the same species? |
