Efferia monki

Efferia monki is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, described by Bromley in 1951. Like other members of the genus Efferia, it belongs to a diverse group of predatory flies characterized by their stout bodies, large compound eyes, and raptorial legs adapted for capturing prey in flight. The species name honors an individual with the surname Monk, though the specific etymology is not detailed in available sources. As with most Efferia species, detailed biological information remains limited in published literature.
