It is not Pamponerus, the white seems to be hair on the first segments of the abdomen and not part of the wing. This creature seems to lack a facial protuberance and wing veination is also pointing in an other direction..........I'm going to track this thread for i want to know too what this is

Even not in the Asilinae subfamiliy. The frontal wing cell is open. Have a look at Cyrtopogon and allies.

Last night I looked by default at Cyrtopogon because i ended up in Holopogon and knew that had to be wrong.......I can't find a useful key and comparing pictures lead to nothing......I just keep on tracking......

How about Crobilocerus?

no, cannot be, now I've seen the later thread with a a close up of the antennae which have normal arista

So is it a particularly hairy cyrtopogon? Asilidae are so tricky

I took my old friend Engel (1938): Cyrtopogon pyrenaicus. In translation: (7-, p. 323) front tarsae in both sexes yellow, only the last segment darkened. In both sexes, the 2-5th tergite yellow dusted in the centre and with golden yellow hairs, also the hind margins yellow dusted. The anal segment shining black, short and dense haired in the male, bare in the female. Intriguing remark of Engel: -pulchripes would key out here according to Loew-

ja, ja, ja
The conclusions for the professionals... I am very amateur...
It seems the wing veneration doesn' feet perfectly although the photo is a little perpendicular.
The description you mentioned seems it feets very much.

Cyrtopogon pyrenaicus it is (?)

Nice Mark, your old friend i just ordered a copy of Engel, palearctic Asilidae 1930 had to come from the US. Can't wait...

It is a bit older than yours, hope there haven't been too many changes.

I have a male specimen of Cyrtopogon pyrenaicus in my collection and it fits perfectly with the photograph.

amazing series. And I think the correct spelling is Cyrtopogon pyrenaeus...
We want more photos, of course!
