27 May, Goksu delta, mid south Turkey. Flat sandy landscape, with reed, small shrubs, and lots of low herbaceous plant (10 sm). Silty influences present.

Looks like Machimus, but with brilliant greens eyes (more clearly so in real life).

Is Machimus correct? Can ID be narrowed down further?

A Promachus sp.; males of this very large genus often have white hairs on top of the genitalia.
