Asilidae
The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and, as a rule, they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. Overview The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies. The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Latreille was the authority for establishing the family in 1802. The Asilidae, together with Bombyliidae and Therevidae, are the most representative families of the superfamily of Asiloidea and they form one of the most characteristic groups of the lower Brachycera. Robber flies have stout, spiny legs and three simple eyes (ocelli) in a characteristic depression on the tops of their head between their two ...

These bees are typically found in the Eastern and Southern regions of the United States like South Carolina and Florida. Physical description ''M. bomboides'' typically have three basal abdominal tergites densely covered with yellow hairs. The fourth and fifth tergites have black hairs, and the final two segments have pale hairs. The ventrum of the abdomen is adorned with yellow hairs. The average body length of ''M. bomboides'' is about 25 mm. Distribution Geographical distribution ''M. bomboides'' occurs in the southeastern United States in states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi.

Jorge Artigas Coch
Jorge Narciso Artigas Coch (Santiago March 21, 1929 – December 13, 2022) was a Chilean entomologist and academic of the University of Concepción. Artigas graduated as an agricultural engineer from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. As the university of Concepción had by early 1950s created the Faculty of Agriculture in 1954 Artigas was contracted to impart the course "Agricultural Zoology". In 1967 Artigas obtained a PhD at Ohio State University. In the university of Concepción he was director of the Department of Zoology from 1970 to 2009, and played an important role in consolidating the university's Zoology Museum. In the 1970s he formally described various insect genera, and he continued this work in the late 1980s and 1990s in collaboration with Nelson Papavero. Artigas is also known for developing a staining method for protozoa Protozoa (singular: protozoan or protozoon; alternative plural: protozoans) are a group of single-celled eukaryotes, either free ...

Mallophora Ruficauda
''Mallophora ruficauda'' is a species of parasitic robber fly in the family Asilidae, endemic to South and Central America. Like other robber flies, ''M. rauficauda'' is known for its aggressive behavior and predation upon other insects, especially bees. ''M. ruficauda'' (like other members of the genus ''Mallophora'') mimics a bumblebee to fool predators into thinking it has a painful sting and is not worth eating. ''M. ruficauda'' larvae parasitize scarab beetles and likely serve as an important biocontrol for the beetles, a pest species that eats the roots and tubers of plants while in the larval stage. On the other hand, adult ''M. ruficauda'' are apicultural pests because they feed on worker honeybees. Description ''M. ruficauda'' is a bumblebee mimic, meaning it appears very similar to a bumblebee despite actually being a fly. It is large and covered in dense black hair (setae) with a patch of yellow on the thorax, and has a pointed black abdomen with a spot of reddish ...
