Wonder if this might be identifiable to genus or tribe. Found on vegetation near forest floor under canopy of dense evergreen forest in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Asilid_orange_wynaad.jpg TIA Shyamal muscicapa attached the following image:  [55.53Kb] best wishes Shyamal Bangalore, India |

Definitely a Saropogon sp.; very probably = S. hulli (which has same coloration -- including four black spots anteriorly on scutum and black on abdomen). |
