Female Paritamus/ Neomochtherus geniculatus. I dont think there are similar species in the area but wait for confirmation.

Yes, it looks very similar to Neomochtherus geniculatus, but please add cf.. The genus Paritamus is already synonymized with Neomochtherus.

Dysmachus wrote: The genus Paritamus is already synonymized with Neomochtherus. This has not changed in the Netherlands same with Tolmerus = Machimus in NL.

Sorry, but all of us has to accept the rules of taxonomy and nomenclature, which are international and not restrictred to a country. I don't like several news, synonyms, creations of new genera etc. But we have to use them if they are published. If you think that Paritamus is valid genus, please explain it in a paper. Nomenclature can not work without this rule - wether I life in Germany and you in the Netherlands. Pavel Lehr and Oscar Theodor separate Tolmerus and Machimus on the base of differences in the genitalia. Unfortunately this isn't visible on images. Paritamus was erected on the colour of the legs - nothing more. |

Your argument is very clear, it is the basis of scientific nomenclature and communication. But it seems that in the Netherlands these differences are not yet accepted or, at least, adapted in literature. I am not a scientist and it is merely that in all Dutch literature (also on websites etc.)these names are (still)used. It is my startingpoint, my reference. When i'm aware of such differences i will mention both names as in casu. As mentioned, i'm not a scientist. Where can i find the scietific acknowleged nomenclature list of Asilidae species and a useful key to the European Asilidae?
