Hi,
on May 30th, I found this fly in the foothills north of Vienna, Austria. Can you please help me identify it?
Thank you
and best regards,
Konrad

Correct. However, formosa is not a valid name anymore. I am preparing a revision during the last 20 years, hopefully, it should be finished sooner or later.

Thank you, Valery,
you see me waiting patiently until the time a new name replaces "formosa"...Smile
Best regards,
Konrad
