Taken on 5th July in Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL


No idea of family... ID please, and tell me why, please, so I can help others . Smile)

The extremity of abdomen is very curved... and it seems has a "sting"?

The family is Rhagionidae - genus looks like Chrysopilus Smile

Yes, could be C. cristatus or C. splendidus.

Here goes the wing venation just to confirmation. The fly went away when I was trying to zoom camera. Sad But here you can see a so-so image:

I saw Rhagio tringarius (male) (1) and this one is so much different than Chrysopilus sp. that I don't realize what are the similarities? Wing venation seems so different, spots present in my photo and neither photos of gallery, the abdomen I suppose that hasn?t spots like I see in the photos of gallery... One similarity I saw is almost absence of setas in legs. Can you help me, please? Thank you a lot.
