Moved
Moved from Laphria canis.

Moved
Moved from Robber Flies.

Until
The genus and the new genera hidden in Laphria are described or reworked and/or Bullington's unpublished Doctoral paper is published by someone, these will remain canis complex. In AR, where we have taken many specimens, ours have all been the species defined as sicula. I would be happy to look at male specimens from anywhere in the east. Kansas likely has at least two species in the complex.

 
thanks
I appreciate the info. and looking at the pics. I'll move it to the right spot. I found the L. canis complex category.
