(2022): A new species of Saropogon Loew, 1847 (Diptera, Asilidae) from Arizona, with a review of the Nearctic species north of Mexico.

611412D717D55C3FB94F66565F871A87.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Has a rather short and stout abdomen with uniformly arranged circular depressions. The male is black with black or brown wings and the female is reddish with brown wings, darker apically. Body length 9 - 12 mm; wing length 7 - 9 mm. Flight time April - August. Most similar to Saropogon senex and S. purus. Differs from S. purus because S. abbreviatus has short apical scutellar macrosetae, whereas the apical scutellar macrosetae of S. purus are longer than the length of the scutellum. Differs from S. senex because S. abbreviatus has short discal scutellar macrosetae, and S. senex has none.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

Legs reddish orange in both sexes; face, scutum, and anepisternum entirely with white pubescence with white macrosetae; antennae yellowish; ~ 30 macrosetae forming mystax; wings hyaline with a slightly darker tinge proximally; veins brownish at the base of the wing, darker apically; T 2 - 5 postero-laterally with white pubescence in both sexes; scutellum with only two marginal bristles. Body length 9 - 14 mm; wing length 7 - 9 mm. Flight time April - June. Easily confused with Saropogon semiustus, especially females; white face pubescence is the best distinguishing character in S. albifrons.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

0136147561B955EBA0DD1EA8046F43C1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is sexually dimorphic: males mostly black, wings brown, four scutellar bristles; females reddish, wings yellowish, anterior corners of T 2 - 5 black. Body length 13 - 19 mm; wing length 14 - 17 mm. Flight time May - October. The male is easily distinguished from Saropogon fletcheri and S. pritchardi because it is significantly darker and more robust than the other males. The female is a bit more challenging but can be separated from S. fletcheri because it does not have the black anterior bands on its abdomen. The female S. pritchardi also has significantly darker wings than S. combustus which is pale brown and darker apically.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

Saropogon coquillettii is similar to S. semiustus, S. hyalinus, and S. luteus, but can be separated from them because it has four scutellar bristles instead of two. It has nearly hyaline wings with only a tinge of color apically and is more slender than Saropogon combustus and S. dispar. Body and wing length 14 - 16 mm. Flight time May - October.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

B985313297C65359ACC83A7F9BE90FD0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Saropogon has a stout and often twisted spur at the antero-ventral apex of the fore tibiae (Fig. 3 A), the same as related genera in the subfamily Dasypogoninae. It differs from other Nearctic taxa such as Diogmites Loew and Blepharepium Rondani by having cell m 3 open (Fig. 3 B), and an antennal stylus composed of a single element with an apical seta-like element positioned apically in a cavity on the stylus (Fig. 3 C). However, some S. pritchardi have cell m 3 almost closed, but never stalked. Saropogon differs from Lestomyia Williston by having a mystax confined to the oral margin (Fig. 3 D) and its face is slightly concave (Fig. 3 E) 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 2009 a). Cophura also has a midtibia with a large, usually black, apical spine, which is absent in all Saropogon studied. Length 10 - 27 mm. 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. 4 A, B), S. combustus (Fig. 4 C, D), S. purus (Fig. 4 E, F), and S. senex (Fig. 4 G, 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. Wilcox (1966) emphasized that the wings of many species of Saropogon contain diagnostic features. Wings of Saropogon abbreviatus (Fig. 5 A, B), S. bryanti (Fig. 5 C, D), S. combustus (Fig. 5 E, F), S. dispar (Fig. 5 G, H), S. hypomelas (Fig. 5 I, J), S. luteus (Fig. 5 K, L), S. purus (Fig. 5 M, N), and S. senex (Fig. 5 O, 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.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H.

B985313297C65359ACC83A7F9BE90FD0.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. 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. Saropogon females oviposit in soil with the aid of the acanthophorite spines (Fig. 25 D) 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).	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

F637147752F458CFA680A82C20E190CF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is the most likely one to be confused with Saropogon pyrodes sp. nov. because of its reddish color. They are easily distinguished by the entire anepisternum of Saropogon luteus being with gold pubescence instead of white as in S. pyrodes sp. nov. Saropogon luteus also has small, with gray pubescent spots on the posterior corners of the tergites. This species is almost exclusively found in California. Body length 11 - 17 mm; wing length 8 - 10 mm. Flight time May - September.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.

Wings completely hyaline, the posterior corners of T 2 - 4 with gray pubescence, the anterior corners of T 4 and 5 (sometimes T 4 - 6) with black spots; legs pale-colored in both sexes but sometimes femora blackish basally in male.

57A35F0E162E54039EC4DA86DC11A862.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Jeff Gruber photographed specimens of Saropogon pyrodes sp. nov. and its habitat (Fig. 27 A, B). S. pyrodes sp. nov. is seen here perching / hunting on a grass, most likely Bouteloua aristidoides (Poaceae; Fig. 27 C), on the edge of a sandy clearing as well as consuming its prey (Fig. 27 D) in the typical hanging position observed in other Dasypogoninae species. 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 ".

C0EF0CFFFF305C6498D4DFBA13FCBA99.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species most closely resembles Saropogon hyalinus and S. albifrons but can be easily separated by its smaller size and dense grayish pubescence on the face, thorax, scutellum, and coxae. Abdomen mostly polished with sides of T 1 and a spot on the posterior corner of T 2 - 5, with gray pubescence (sometimes absent in males). Legs in male black, except red at tips of femora; legs in female are reddish. Antennae are yellowish brown. Wings hyaline. Body length 8 - 10 mm; wing length 7 - 8 mm. Flight time April - June.	en	Alberts, Charlotte H. E., Fisher, Eric M.
