Hello, This small, vernal asilid was recorded in Hatay Province. Maybe the first representative of the early spring. Its ID very much appreciated. Muhabbet Cesa attached the following image:  [155.67Kb] Edited by Cesa on 20-04-2012 12:34 |

Looks like a Dysmachus of some sort but the ovipositor is very strange.. I think it has to be another genus...There is also some red in front legs.

I wonder if this is Erax nigrosetosus? It's a rare species only known from Israel and Turkey, collected March-May. No pictures or figures of the female have ever been published, but from what I can gather out of the literature this specimen is consistent with its big mystax and facial knob, prominent presutral dc bristles, elongate flagellum, long bristles on scutellar margin, overall hairiness, very long flat ovipositor with free cerci, red/black femorae, and that microtrichia pattern on the wings. I'm not sure if this species is even supposed to have the patch of white hairs above the scutellum like most other Erax. Abdullah Hasbenli deposited his specimens in the Zoological Museum of Gazi University in Ankara, maybe you could compare with them (and please share with us what you learn!) |

I am pretty sure that i have now something similar from Cyprus. So if you have been comparing that would be great : )
