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!

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

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
