Asilus marginatus Linnaeus, 1758 Choerades marginata is a species of robber fly (Asilidae: Laphriinae) found in Europe.

[2] This species is present in most of Europe (Albania, Austria, Belgium, British Islands, European Russia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and former Yugoslavia).

[3] These robber flies mainly inhabit spruce and beech forest and hedge rows.

The sides of thorax (pleura) and the humeral callus are distinctly tomentose and scutum has only few, normal hairs.

The lateral sclerites (mesopleuron) have a greyish-brown tomentum, with sparse yellow and black hairs all over.
