Abstract

The charismatic bee-mimic robber fly Mallophora fautrix (Bee Killer) is distributed throughout the southwestern US and Mexico. Recent sightings of M. fautrix in Louisiana represent the easternmost reports of the species. We photographed and identified M. fautrix in north Lafayette Parish, LA, on 5 August 2015. This 2015 discovery and a second sighting in Bossier City, LA, on 28 July 2019, extend the eastern range of this charismatic bee-mimic robber fly.
