• Eudioctria sackeni

  Eudioctria sackeni is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, subfamily Stenopogoninae. The genus Eudioctria comprises among the smallest North American robber flies, measuring only 6–8 mm in length. Species in this genus superficially resemble Cerotainia (subfamily Laphriinae) but lack the extra-long antennae. Eudioctria is primarily a western U.S. genus, though four of its 14 species occur in eastern states.
