Hello Everybody,
About 26 mm long and 38mm wingspan. An asilid like fly from South East Turkey. Taken in early August. Could its species be determined?
Thanks in advance.

In the mean time this record has also been published in Cesae News 51: 1-2. Cesa News can be accessed for download following the link on the
Cesa News homepage.
To everyone here but atm Muhabbet in particular, if at all possible, can you include the Diptera.info site as one of the intermediates in identifying a species in the future? It will benefit the site by making its importance clear and may attract more interested parties to the site.
