Introduction

This list of English common names for the robber fly species of North America north of Mexico was developed by a community of professional and amateur entomologists interested in promoting the study of this diverse family amongst the general public.

In May 2022, an on-line spreadsheet was posted where interested participants could suggest common names (and their rationales) for genera or groups of related genera. Also included were general ideas about the coining of common names and the need for them. These ideas elicited many comments from participants. In March 2023, an online poll for assessing the popularity of the submitted names was posted. The resulting 55 genera/group names chosen were then used in the construction of 1008 species names. Again, suggestions for these species’ common names were solicited from the community of robber fly enthusiasts and, where several names were suggested for a species, the compilers chose one. The completed list was posted in August 2023.

Several trends in naming genera are evident. Short names are preferred over long ones. Some scientific names are used for common names because they are short, easy to pronounce, and well-recognized (e.g., Itolia, Laphria). Group names that encompass related, similar-looking genera are adopted (e.g., “Bandit” for many Cyrtopogonini, “Bladetail” for most Asilini). Names that do not describe all the taxa in a genus or larger group are fine -- e.g., those that refer to one sex only (e.g., “Bladetail”, “Hammertail”) or those that use color as a descriptor (e.g., “Rusty Robber”). It’s also all right if names relate to more taxa than the named group (e.g., “Longhorn Robber”). And there is agreement that it’s good to have a mix of descriptive (based on morphology, habitat, behavior) and whimsical (e.g., the use of words similar to “robber” – “Bandit”, “Ruffian”, “Pirate”) names.

The naming of the individual species within a genus or group of genera follows similar lines. Terms that are descriptive or otherwise relevant to the species’ morphology, biology, or history are preferred, especially if they are memorable or evocative. A direct translation of the scientific specific epithet is not used if it seems illogical or obscure or if a better descriptor is available. Patronyms are frequently retained, especially in large genera with many similar species where another, more descriptive name is hard to come by. Names referring to geographical ranges or type localities are also used in these situations. And, just as in the generic names, those names that might relate to more than one taxon are not shunned; for example, using “Seashore Sandpirate” for Lasiopogon actius does not mean there are no other Lasiopogon species found along sea beaches. Undescribed species, even if they are frequently identified or mentioned online, are not included.

Many believe that coining common names is unnecessary and counterproductive, given the value and utility of stable (usually), unique scientific names. Why add more? However, many of us have been forced to invent common names when publishers insist that such names be developed for field guides and other books. Online resources for the non-scientist (where common names are often used) have proliferated and frequently they demand common names. Similarly, government and non-governmental biodiversity and conservation agencies usually require common names in their management documents; NatureServe and the Committee on the Status of Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) are examples. Why not use common names coined by biologists and naturalists who know the group, so that the names represent the species as much as possible? Why not encourage everyone who wants to use common names to use these standardized ones?

The spreadsheet used in the development of these names, which contains useful information such as alternate name suggestions, the rationale for name choices, and so on, can be accessed below. Names cannot be changed, but comments can be made.

This list also serves as a checklist of the robber flies of North America north of Mexico. It is updated when necessary.
