I photographed this Asilidae in the Zingaro Reserve near Scopello on the north-western coast of Sicily, on the 28th July 2016. It has been identified as Neomochtherus sp.. According to the Checklist of the Italian Fauna, the only species present in Sicily is Neomochtherus striatipes (Loew, 1849). In Fauna Europaea instead N. striatipes doesn't exist as a valid name nor a synonym, but there is a Neomochtherus siculus (Macquart, 1834) cited for Sicily. Do you know if these two names are referred to the same specie?
