I think this species is represented in the gallery, but I am not confident.

Another view of the same fly. I like Micropezids a lot.

Looks like a male
Calobata ephippium to me.

You are right, Andre,

Andre, Valery
Thx for your help with this and the other thread.
In the gallery one should either transfer Neria sp to Neriidae or unite Micropezidae with Neriidae.

Correct, called
Neria now... I forgot for that moment. Too lazy to look it up, 'cause I knew something changed

Neria is a genus name, no familyname. Belongs to the
Calobatinae,
Micropezidae.
Neriidae is nothing, as far as I know..

Xespok and Andre,
You could not be more wrong. The name of the family Neriidae is based on the genus
Nerius and this is a valid family in its own right. The genus
Neria belongs to the Micropezidae.

Paul you are completely right.

You can see even more spectacular photos of the very same species on this website taken by the famous photograher........ me
But I did not realize that Neriidae comes from Nerius, a genus which I have never heard of. So one mystery less left.

Tell us your other fly mysteries.
Gabor, I saw your gallery (almost) entirely.
Both galleries.
