Machimus arthriticus seems unlikely, it is reported from Europe only. Posted 2 years ago

      First, I searched iNat for robber fly species in Indonesia, I saw that there were a lot of Philodicus sp. and that they are listed as being similar to Machimus sp.. I looked at the Philodicus images and thought Sugianto's fly was very similar, so, I searched JD for Philodicus and found the above image. :) Posted 2 years ago
