I'm now rather uncertain how to distinguish these two families... General built is like Mythicomyiidae; but much larger fly (I realize that's not of much taxonomic significance though). Letoon, SW Turkey. Sea level. Dry ditch adjacent to archaelogical site. What is the phylogenetic relationship between these two families? Is Mythicomyiidae a sister-taxon of Bombyliidae, or makes the recognition of Mythicomyiidae the Bombyliidae paraphyletic?
