Asilidae can vary considerably in size and, according to Engel 1930 legs yellow without stripes, size 16mm. Tsacas 1968, who had seen the holotype writes that legs are yellow and gives 15,5 mm. I think that Richter described a different species! Maybe she copied Lehr of which Tsacas says that he had probably had N. hungaricus at hand. It is a pity that she didn't give a picture of the genitalia.
