This fly resembles a little bit Villa limbata of Japan, which I never actually observed. http://www.insect...baturi.htm Could be a Villa species or one belonging to a very close gerus. Xespok |

Thank you Xespok. To tell you truth it doesn't seems to very much resembling, but this one is my first Bombiliidae, so it is hard to me to have any decision. (Today I met the second!)

I am afraid the Oriental region is a bit beyond my competance. The wing venation is more suggestive of Exoprosopa or allied genus than Villa. Best i can do at the moment Nikita |

This is actually a Ligyra (they have 4 submarginal cells; Exoprosopa have three). It looks like Ligyra oenomaus (Rondani). I collected specimens of this species in Singapore and Malaysia. Although it has not yet been recorded from Thailand there is no reason it cannot be found there. |
