During my excursion to the South of Oman this September, I saw quite a number of Asilidae (I hope) and would be very happy if you could help me to sort them out (or even better - ort them in). The region is defined by the huge Omani dessert inland, the Indian Ocean and a small strip of land between those, which is regularly watered by a summerly monsun. Huge biodiversity, although we where a little late and missed a lot.
22-SEP-2023 on a beach close to Salalah, 7-9mm.

Hi,
Again Stichopogoninae and the same follows for this small one as for the other. ;0 Have a look at the literature and maybe it can help you. This is something near Rhadinus, again, but now it is a male,
Best,
Jonne

Male .... OK. So it might be the same species as the other one, corresponding male/female - nice :-)
