Hi,

I reckon you found both these resources? https://www.resea..._Loew_1849 and https://www.biodi...h=tolmerus

I am by no means used to Canarian Asilids, hopefully someone else turns up with a better clue on the species?

Best,
Jonne

Hi Jonne,
Yes I have thanks, but still struggling to get anywhere, it is large (18-20mm) which should narrow it down but nothing seems to fit, maybe I have the genus incorrect! Thanks for replying.

Any Asilidae experts that could help please? Already tried ot match to known species from Tenerife but nothing seems to fit - maybe I have the wrong Genus?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
