I think this pretty beefly from Samos (within sight of the Turkish mainland) has to be Exoprosopa pandora. Impossible to separate reliably from P. jacchus without detailed inspection, but it fits this image from Turkey http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3134 very well and the location suggests pandora: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=22209&pid=98544

28.7.12 c. 10mm Samos, Greece, north coast near Karlovasi

I'd be grateful if a Bombyliidae expert could comment on my ID for this Samian beefy.
