Overview
Eutolmus rufibarbis is a Palearctic species of robber fly in the family Asilidae.
The Golden-tabbed Robberfly faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its limited range. Climate change and pesticide use in agricultural areas further threaten the specialized invertebrate prey species this robberfly depends upon.
