Hello,
Can this nice Asilid female receive a genus name? (Usually it is Tolmerus...) I met her today on a house wall.
Thanks, Sundew

Hello,
but this time it is not a Tolmerus but a female Neoitamus, quite easily recognisable because of the long shining ovipositor. Females of this genus are not identifiable to species level.

Greetings, Danny Wolff

Fine - a new genus! The lack of a species name is no problem.
Many thanks, Sundew
