Familia: Bombyliidae
Name
Anthrax Scopoli – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Remarks
This is a diverse genus with 248 species worldwide. Two old but complete revisions of the genus, including distribution maps and keys, were made by Marston (1963[1], 1970[2]). Thanks to these Anthrax species can be easily identified. Some Anthrax species are widely distributed occupying two biogeographic regions. From the seven Anthrax species collected in this study in Coahuila, just Anthrax cybele (Coquillett, 1894) has a restricted distribution. The other six species are widespread across the Nearctic region. Two species of Anthrax are reported for the first time for Mexico.
