[The authors are unsure as to why it was not included.] The co-types (syntypes) referenced in Back 1904 were deposited one in the Massachusetts Agricultural College collection and one at the University of Kansas collection (SEMC); however, both can be currently found at SEMC. The authors have designated the specimen in better condition to be the lectotype and the other the paralectotype.

It differs from other Nearctic taxa such as  Diogmites Loew and  Blepharepium Rondani by having cell m3 open (Fig. 3B), and an antennal stylus composed of a single element with an apical seta-like element positioned apically in a cavity on the stylus (Fig. 3C). However, some  S. pritchardi have cell m3 almost closed, but never stalked.  Saropogon differs from  Lestomyia Williston by having a mystax confined to the oral margin (Fig. 3D) and its face is slightly concave (Fig. 3E) when viewed laterally. Some species of  Lestomyia have a mystax confined to the oral margin, which can be distinguished from  Saropogon by having strong anterior (presutural) dorsocentral bristles (absent in  Saropogon (Wilcox 1966)).  Cophura can be distinguished from  Saropogon by its fore tibial spur on the postero-ventral surface being thin, and sigmoid rather than stout, hooked and on the antero-ventral surface (Dikow 2009a).  Cophura also has a midtibia with a large, usually black, apical spine, which is absent in all  Saropogon studied. Length 10-27 mm.</p><p>Sexual Dimorphism and wing variation in  Saropogon . Back (1909) and Wilcox (1966) have called attention to many species of  Saropogon that represent prime examples of sexual dimorphism. Species like  S. abbreviatus (Fig. 4A, B),  S. combustus (Fig. 4C, D),  S. purus (Fig. 4E, F), and  S. senex (Fig. 4G, H) have the male abdomen predominantly black, whereas the female abdomen is largely red. However, there can be color variation within these species. Curran (1931) reported a female  S. combustus with a black abdomen. Leg color is also sexually dimorphic in most Nearctic  Saropogon, with male legs tending to be black and female legs mainly reddish. Exceptions occur: the male of  Saropogon purus has reddish hind femora and middle femora, and the female of  S. senex has mainly black legs except for reddish hind femora. Setal patterns can also be dimorphic: males have long, erect, or semierect hairs on the mesonotum, abdomen, and legs in  Saropogon bryanti,  S. combustus,  S. coquillettii,  S. dispar,  S. laparoides, and  S. mohawki . In the females of these species, these hairs are short, appressed, and inconspicuous.</p><p>Wilcox (1966) emphasized that the wings of many species of  Saropogon contain diagnostic features. Wings of  Saropogon abbreviatus (Fig. 5A, B),  S. bryanti (Fig. 5C, D),  S. combustus (Fig. 5E, F),  S. dispar (Fig. 5G, H),  S. hypomelas (Fig. 5I, J),  S. luteus (Fig. 5K, L),  S. purus (Fig. 5M, N), and  S. senex (Fig. 5O, P) are sexually dimorphic: they are brown in males, yellowish in females. Species with brown wings in both sexes are  Saropogon senex,  S. abbreviatus,  S. purus, and  S. pritchardi;  S. luteus and  S. pyrodes sp. nov., have yellowish wings in both sexes.</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Dasypogoninae and  Saropogon apparently tend to prefer  Hymenoptera prey (Lavigne 2016; Pollock 2021; Table 1).  S. combustus and  S. pritchardi show a particular interest in the workers of  Pogonomyrmex harvester ants (Pollock 2021). There is currently only one record of  Saropogon as prey to another genus of  Asilidae in North America. Bromley (1934) recorded  Diogmites symmachus Loew, 1872 feeding on  Saropogon dispar in Texas.</p><p>Saropogon females oviposit in soil with the aid of the acanthophorite spines (Fig. 25D) at the tip of their ovipositor (Londt and Dikow 2017). They use the spines to dig into the ground, to lay the eggs, and to sweep soil over the eggs after oviposition (Dennis and Lavigne 1975).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B985313297C65359ACC83A7F9BE90FD0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

S. pyrodes sp. nov. is seen here perching/hunting on a grass, most likely  Bouteloua aristidoides ( Poaceae; Fig. 27C), on the edge of a sandy clearing as well as consuming its prey (Fig. 27D) in the typical hanging position observed in other  Dasypogoninae species.</p><p>Jeff Gruber described some behavior (Figs 1, 27) on Flickr: "Found this beauty as I was walking back to my car mid-afternoon on a very warm day. It was hanging around the low grasses at the periphery of a  Pogonomyrmex ant nest in grassland type habitat on floodplain(?) of Santa Cruz River, which at the time was a dry wash. It alternated perches between the low grasses, short dead stems poking up from the soil, and the soil surface". Original post: https://www.flickr.com/photos/7432824@N07/36417103883/in/faves-157063159@N04/.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>Named for the  fly’s bright, fiery red color: pyrodes is Greek for fire-like.</p><p>Comments.</p><p>In 1964, Mike Irwin collected the first record of this species, a male from four miles north of Continental, Arizona. He gave the specimen to Joseph Wilcox to identify. Then in 1968, Miller collected twelve specimens (11 ♂ and 1 ♀) from just north of Tucson, Arizona. He also donated this collection to J. Wilcox. The second author borrowed the specimens from Wilcox in approximately 1979 when he started a Ph.D. program at the University of California, Riverside. He considered describing this unique fly but never did. Finally, in 2017, beautiful photographs by Jeff Gruber (Fig. 27A-D) of this species appeared on BugGuide (https://bugguide.net/node/view/1439519), an online community where naturalists post and identify images of arthropods from the United States and Canada. Because of this, the second author immediately knew that this fly was long overdue for description, resulting in this manuscript.</p><p>Saropogon bryanti and  S. senex have been collected within 10 km of the type locality of  S. pyrodes .  Saropogon purus and  S. coquillettii can also be found in the area; the material examined showed specimens within 60 km of  S. pyrodes collection sites.  Saropogon hypomelas,  S. fletcheri,  S. albifrons, and  S. mohawki are all found within 200 km (Fig. 26).  Saropogon pyrodes typically flies later in the season (Aug. - Sep.) than  S. bryanti and  S. senex (Jun. - Aug.),  S. purus (Jul.), and  S. albifrons (Apr. - Jun.).  Saropogon coquillettii (May - Sep.),  S. fletcheri and  S. mohawki (Jun - Oct.), and  S. hypomelas (Jun. - Sep.) have longer flight seasons but are uncommon in the later months.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/57A35F0E162E54039EC4DA86DC11A862	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
