Thanks Leptogaster...A question:
What's usually useful approximately to identify the genera?
Thorax, abdomen, head, wings?
Do you know any book or web resource that explain the "dichotomous keys" to identify Diptera in general, or in specific genera?
Thanks

There is a key to the Asilidae subfamilies on http://www.geller...subfam.htm and the Central European genera on http://www.robber...rwort.html. The last revision of European Asilidae is published by Engel (1930) in German language. Afterwards several hundred papers are published yet. Except of a catalogue, a revised key is lacking. Yours
