Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Asilid Neoitamus cyanurus?

Hello,

This was on my windowsill near Lincoln UK on 8th July 2009. N. cothurnatus is the only other Neoitamus specie we have here but it is rarer. I have found pics of both but I can't see the difference, is it possible to say which this is?

Neoitamus cothurnatus looks to have a very small distribution much more in the south, but I have other insects which are here and should not be according to distribution maps.;)

Any help much appreciated.

4 pics, but I have more similar. If required I can crop to a closer area.

Janet
