Hello,
Can it be another Ancylorhynchus species from East Turkey? Thanks a lot. Muhabbet

Muhabbet,

I believe this is a sp. of Saropogon, with an unusual-shaped proboscis (somewhat recurved, or possibly the hypopharynx is protruding?). Note the stout protibial spine; Ancylorhynchus lacks this structure..

Proboscis look long and quite straight, so it's more like Saropogon.
