I am afraid this is not Machimus setibarbus which is a much stouter creature and has a bold projection on the last sternite Wink This looks much closer to some kind of Tolmerus to me. However, some Machimus are very similar too and these genera are difficult to tell apart. Sorry I cannot help more with this one Sad My knowledge of Greeek Asilidae species is rather limited Sad

I think Tolmerus cf atripes is good candidate...
