Photograph taken on 12 July, 2013, in terrace housing in urban areas, Motril, Granada, Spain. Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast. Apparent size with wings, about 7-8 mm It reminds me one Asilidae. But with 7-8 mm, I think it is too small for it to be. Thanks in advance for any help!

This is an Asilid for sure, I think. There are small species, e. g. in Stichopogon (http://en.wikiped...gon_sp.jpg). Try to attract an Asilid expert! |

I really appreciate the information you gave me. I did not know it could exist asilidae of small size. Hopefully an expert we can determine the species. Best wishes from south of Spain. |

Hi Maherjos and Sundew, Please let me add a little information to the genus identification of these very nicely photographed robber flies! The female specimen(s?) is definitely a sp. of Holopogon. As to exactly which sp., I can't say, as there are about a dozen possible Holopogon spp. in southern Spain. Best regards, Eric F. |

I am very grateful for the information it gives us that immediately add to the title. Do you think that with the exemplary in hand, a specialist of the genre, might come to know the species.? Best wishes from Southern Spain. José Marín |
