Another fly from New Mexico USA. This one was from an area where the Organ Mountains meet the Chihuahuan Desert. Is this a Robber Fly, Asilidae? Thanks in advance for any ID help. Diptera.info is a terrific site! Stephen attached the following image:  [91.87Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Paul, you are right!  This is not a therevid, it is a robber fly genus Efferia, the males have the long genitals, easy to recognize...nice pic! Martin Hauser |
