Neomochtherus geniculatus is a species of fly in the robber fly family, Asilidae.
This species is present in Europe.[1]
Neomochtherus geniculatus can reach a body length of about 9-.[2] [3] [4] These robber flies have a small facial gibbosity with a few bristles forming the mystax. Sternites are predominantly shiny. Femora are black. The widest point of the distinctly broadened hypopygium is in the middle.[5]
Adults can be found from May to September.[2] Larvae feed on beetle larvae of the families Cetoniidae, Lucanidae and Melolonthidae, while adults prey on other flies.[2]
