Hello all: This Asilid is seen today in Shanghai, China landing on my towel. Any ideas? I think it looks similar to Promachus sp. Thanks in advance! Edited by kevin_cheng on 16-10-2020 10:59 |

Subfamily Asilinae, but not Promachus. Closer to the Machimus-group of genera. |

It belongs to the Asilinae, something near Neomochtherus
