Robber flies are small to very large (3.0-50.0 mm) flies, often with
conspicuous dense hairs or almost bare. Eyes large, dichoptic in
both sexes, separated by a markedly deepened vertex. Ocellar
tubercle pilose, often with bristles. Often with one or more rows of
strong bristle-like occipital setae near posterior eye-margin. Face
well developed, often prominent and convex with a characteristic
facial beard. Thorax well developed. Wings rather narrow for a
powerful flyer. All species are very good fliers with long legs
which are used for catching prey. Adults can be observed in various
biotopes, from lowlands to the upper forest boundary. The basic
characteristics of the family were given by e.g. Majer (1997).
With the exception of the polar areas, the family is distributed in
all zoogeographic regions with a total of 6500 described species.
Within the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Asilidae are represented
by 106 species: Czech Republic 85 species (Bohemia 65, Moravia 81) and Slovakia
101 species, out of a total of 524 European species
(Geller-Grimm
2007). Compared
with the PCV2 (Bosák
1997), the number of
species has increased by three in the Czech Republic (three in Moravia) (Bosák
1997,
1999,
2001,
2005). There have been some taxonomic changes since the last
checklist, which are noted under the relevant species (Lehr
1996). The
species richness of the robber-fly fauna is well known in both the
Czech Republic and Slovakia.
