I received a collected asilid, which is in a rather poor condition. I have keys for Western Europe, incl France, but so information about species from the Mediterranean.
In case you need fews from a special detail let me know.

It is a bombyliid, presumably of the genus Cyrtherea (see http://www.dipter...ad_id=2364.

Paul, I was chocked. Okay, I drank two glasses of wine, but suddenly my message was gone.
Don`t you think that the specimen is in such a bad state, that it can`t be determined. The guy asked for a name.

I see the genus is very rich in species. I see why I did not recognize it, since it does not occur in Central Europe at all.

Well, actually, your message was there in duplicate, one with the images, one without. The one without was deleted. The one with was moved from the Asilidae forum to the Diptera (adults) forum. Sometimes I am just faster than that shadow that people can see. Wink
