A New Species

The Palaearctic species of the genus Trichardis Hermann, 1906 are reviewed. A new species, T. lehri sp. nov., is described. A new synonymy is established: T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) = T. afanasievae Lehr, 1964, syn. nov. The male of T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 is described for the first time. External features and the male genitalia of T. lehri sp. nov., T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) and T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 are illustrated with photographs.

Species Descriptions

There are 171 species of robber flies recorded for Wyoming, USA, including three newly described species (Cyrtopogon hollandi sp. nov., C. martini sp. nov., and Stenopogon graminis sp. nov.) in this paper, in 10 of the 14 recognized subfamilies. The largest numbers of species belong to the Asilinae (61) followed by Brachyrhopalinae (35), Laphriinae (23), Stenopogoninae (19), Dasypogoninae (9), Stichopogoninae (9), Leptogastrinae (8), Dioctriinae (3), Willistonininae (3), and Trigonomiminae (1). The most species (136) occur in one or more of the shrub/grassland vegetation types, with fewer species occurring in the grassland vegetation types (130), the forest (78 species) and in the shrub (24 species) vegetation types. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species with brief species descriptions are provided; the ecology and ethology of individual species are discussed.

Robber Flies

Three of the species of Ablautus Loew described here have been on hand for several years and, as no additional material has become available, there seems to be no reason for delaying their description longer. These small robber flies inhabit the more arid regions of the West and Southwest and seem to prefer sandy localities in the sage brush. Osten Sacken commented on the fact that Ablautus mimus O. S. was associated with Lestomyia sabulonum O. S. on sandy soil and seems to mimic it; and Melander says, regarding Cyrtopogon ablautoides Mel., “The species presents a curious superficial resemblance to Ablautus mimus O. S., with which it is associated in the sandy desert region.”
