This one had an unusual way of hanging under the leaf surface after catching prey.

In America the hanging behavior is typical of some genera of Dasypogoninae. Probably close to Saropogon; I don't know what other, similar genera you have in India. |

Maybe you can start with this: https://books.google.nl/books/about/A_Review_of_the_Asilidae_Diptera_from_In.html?id=3B1DAAAAYAAJ&redir_esc=y When i have more time i will have a closer look. I do not know much of Indian Asilidae yet :-) Greetings, Reinoud Field guide to the robber flies of the Netherlands and Belgium: https://www.jeugdbondsuitgeverij.nl/product/field-guide-to-the-robberflies-of-the-netherlands-and-belgium/ https://www.nev.nl/diptera/ |
