Paul, I am ashamed for this very late reply :S I have tried to solve the mystery of the status of the taxon for a while. It seems that it is Empis (Euempis) morio nowadays. But I forgot to say something here... Disgraceful.

The problem is that i believe (I might be wrong) that Empis morio has a dark F1. And there is something dirturbing in this fly for Euempis: bristles on legs don't seem to be strong enough. I think it should belong to another subgenus. But of course, only my thoughts ;)

Anyway, thanks a lot for the effort, I am/was completely concious of the difficulty :)

Best
