Hello, I think that this is an Asilidae of the genus Erax because of the smoked/darkened cross veins and shape of the antennae. Do you agree? Photo taken the 3 May 2014 in Vaucluse (southern France - 84). Thank-you Benoit Edited by benoit on 10-05-2014 07:44 |

Certainly Erax! probably barbatus/punctipennis

Benoit - and note a characteristic, dense, white hair on the lower part of the scutum, just before the scutellum.
