A female Chrysopilus sp. Maybe a female Ch. asiliformis?

Another view.

Would be my guess as well.
To the older guys and girls of us known as Ch. aureus (old name)

Hmm. I wonder what is the real status of Chrysopilus in Central Europe. Krivosheina has revised some type material and described new species from C. Europe, but the papers are all in Russian, a language I don't know

Krivosheina, N. P. 2006. The results of studying type species of the genus Chrysopilus (Diptera, Rhagionidae) from the collection of the Humbolt Natural History Museum (Berlin, Germany). Report 1. Zool. Zh. 85(1): 54-72.

Theo, thx for the confirmation.

Kahis, I can not speak any Russian either. The images of female Ch. asiliformis from other web sites indeed look somewhat different.

The male Ch. asiliformis on the other hand looks quite identical to that seen on other web site.

I can make a translation.
DOn't have the article, though

If you look at the papers I listed, that's about 50 pages of text.

I can offer to translate a key, if presented. Otherwise.....
we're in trouble
