Iranopogon cf. brandti : wow !! Totally mysterious fly, with affinities in dispute. (In my opinion, it clearly belongs to Trigonomiminae -- which these amazing photos of Piros show well.) I do not believe this fly has ever been seen or reported on since original description of Timon-David, 1955 (Bull. Soc. Entom. France, 60:103) -- the holotype being a single female from Iran (Fort Mian-Kotal; May 1937). Fabulous work; please add to gallery.
