One more Asilidae that I would like help to identify.
Could be another Eraxasilus female?
Also will be welcome any information about these red parasitic mites that attack both insects.
Coordinates of the place where I took this photo:

Thanks for help!

Eraxasilus sp. female. I don't know much about the mites; most red ones like these are probably parasitic larvae of superfamily Trombidioidea--common on insects.
Cheers, Eric.
