Here is the list of Thyridanthrax spp. known from Grece (and Turkey) according to FE:


Thyridanthrax elegans
Thyridanthrax fenestratus
Thyridanthrax incanus
Thyridanthrax lotus
Thyridanthrax mutilus
Thyridanthrax obliteratus
Thyridanthrax perspicillaris
Thyridanthrax polyphemus

I think we can immediately exlude T. fenestratus, perspicillaris and polyphemus. Last year you identified T. lotus and mutilus among the flies I took pictures of in Rhodos - they look different. Here you exluded T. elegans, so only T. incanus and obliteratus remain. I was unable to find anything about obliteratus...
