Asilidae found on a sandy path in a wasteland among vineyards in september 2018. Can it be Neomochtherus melanopus ?  Michel Mathieu : France : Vendres : 34350 : 18/09/2018 Altitude : 19 m - Taille : 18-20 mm Réf. : 271178 |

Ik seems that there are bristles presen on the ventral side of fore femora, if that is the case this might be Machimus lacinulatus or Neoepitriptus setosulus. A male would be welcome

Thank you very much for your proposal. They are indeed bristles on the ventral side of femur 1. I don't meet the male of this species. Do you think the size (18-20 mm) is possible for Neoepitriptus setosulus ? best regards, Michel Mathieu |

Ah, was it really that big? Another option is Neoepitriptus inconstans, but a male would be welcome.
