Neoitamus cyanurus, the common awl robberfly, is a species of 'robber fly' belonging to the family Asilidae.

It is an eastern Palearctic realm species, with a limited distribution in Europe (Austria, Belgium, British Isles, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, North European Russia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands), but it is also present in the Near East and in the Oriental realm.

[2] This rather large dark elongate species has strongly angled hair beneath the eyes, mouthparts with a piercing and sucking proboscis and a gray thorax.

The legs are very long, nearly all black, with short, thickened bristles, but the extreme base of tarsi is orange.

The prey spectrum is broad including, for example, small butterflies, green lacewings (Pseudomallada ventralis),[2] flies, gnats, cicadas, beetles and many more.
