I must say that i sometimes get the feeling that separation of genera is sometimes arbitrary. But i am an amateur. :-). The history of Neomochtherus geniculatus is a good example, it has been placed in Cerditus, Paritamus and now in Neomochtherus..... But the genitalia are important to establish the species. Males are often the clue. It would be nice if you find a male to this female. Of course there is much more to comment........ I don't know how well the Asilidae of Sicily have been studied; the fact it is an island makes it all the more interesting......
