Georgia, Tbilisi, 07.VIII.2019.

According to Richter (1968) "Asilidae of Caucasus", S. elongatus has red palpi, while S. junceus has black ones. And on the contary, the key given in Van den Broek et al (2017). "Stenopogon heteroneurus (Macquart, 1838), a new species of the genus Stenopogon Loew, 1847 for the Iberian Peninsula and Europe (Diptera: Brachycera: Asilidae)" says S. elongatus has black palpi, while S. junceus has the red ones. I'm a bit confused.

Can experts determine the species given on the photo below? (click the link to view the high resolution pic). Or maybe it's even Stenopogon obliteratus, known from Tbilisi (Richter (1968))
