Dasypogoninae? Stenopogoninae?

it is hidden... I think. I mean the ventral tibia is not visible here. This is a good example how sometimes it is best to catch the fly. Wink
If really has a strong spur in apical tibia (ventral), yep.
But general appearance for me is a Dasypogoninae. But dunno.

Really, when I have some more time I will study a little more iberian asilids.

Javig, Jorge:

This is a Stenopogon sp. (without a protibial spur). Gordon's photo is of the same genus. I'll wait for Danny of Dysmachus to possibly contribute species names for the European flies!

Regards,

Eric
