Hi, any idea what this large 25mm long Asilidae from Antalya, Turkey might be ? Even the genus would satisfy me. JariF |

Should be close to Dysmachus... but Turkey.. better wait for a real pro on this family  . Are you sure it's 25mm? |

Hi, doesn't look to me like a Dysmachus. In Dysmachus the last tergites are incorporated in the ovipositor and not free as in the depicted specimen. Furthermore the dorsocentrals an the mesonotum usually reach further to the front. Here they are restricted the back part of the mesonotum. Why not a specimen of the very species-rich Machimus-group? Greetings, Danny Wolff |

Hi, thank You so far. The length is in fact 26mm ! Is there any details that could help the identification? I can take and send more pictures if they will help. JariF |
