---

mmm... this has three answers already

Here is one more

I wonder why there are so few dipterian experts from mediterranean europe here? Would have been nice to have specialist on the southern fauna

---

there are some very expert Portuguese but in very few families and not so adorable among dipterans in general: chironomidae (for larval stages!); culicidae (the same, and some imagos..); there are some works concerning Tabanidae and Ceratopogonidae.... in resume: there are no experts in imago ID in Portugal (if they exist, they don?t belong to the universities - I asked to a PhD colleague and she doesn?t know anyone that is expert in dipterans - they like more coleopters or lepidopters..). I am the first, perhaps, to seek for all dipterans families here (there were made only 2 works concerning chekclist for Portugal - one in beginnings of XX century! And the other in 2002... (always by non-Portuguese specialists). In Spain, there is Carles Tolr?, but it seems to be very busy - but not expert in asilidae by sure. Germans usually are very good in asilids. There must be much more experts in Spain.
For ASILIDAE - Manuel Portillo Rubio - MAIL: portillo (AT) gugu.usal.es (IN Salamanca! near from here! ) .
Perhaps about 20 specialists in Spain.

Go here: http://www.geller-grimm.de/address/europe.htm IN ADDRESS query write SPAIN. It will appear about 20 experts

I think it's the same species... with prey! Same location and date.

Certainly it looks the same, or at least very similar.

But I only can identify the prey (Exosoma lusitanica)
