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, aride plain, 200m above sea level Joerg Schneider attached the following image:  [75.9Kb] Edited by Joerg Schneider on 12-11-2023 18:33 |

Hi, This is, i think, a representative from the genus Trichardis. There are some publications online about this genus. It could be T. cf. leucocoma, a species cited from some neighboring Arabian countries. Best, Jonne |
