Interesting species, you should collect it and send it to a specialist, because several new genara are described by Pavel Lehr last years.

Dear Dysmarchus, thanks for your several comments. All my Asilids go to Guido Van de Weyer.

Your pictures remind me very much of Philonicus albiceps, the only known species of the genus Philonicus confirmed to occur in Europe (and Greece).

Greetings, Danny Wolff

Dear Danny,
P. albiceps is on my list from material sent to Guido so it could easily be so.
