Dmitry, could you give the size?

Posted by Dmitry Gavryushin on 01-12-2005 07:58

Well, I think the size was around 10mm.

Subfamily Laphriinae, ?Laphriini.

For me this looks more like a robber fly in the subfamily Apocleinae.

LoL, that one I do not really know...

If Apocleinae, maybe this key could help anyone (not me, alas):

I send the picture to Fritz Geller Grimm and he emailed me that this is a Pycnopogon sp. (Stenopogoniniae).
