I compared some of the species in the previous post and I think it seems to be the Sepsis violacea, I miss 4 species because I'm unable to find pictures and key around the web.
Btw after the selection we still have:

Sepsis helvetica Munari, 1985 (N?) <= I didn't found pictures and key

Sepsis melanopoda Duda, 1926 (N) (*) <= I didn't found pictures and key

Sepsis nigripes Meigen, 1826 (*) <= I didn't found pictures and key

Sepsis pseudomonostigma Ursu, 1969 (N, S, Si, Sa) <= I didn't found pictures and key

Sepsis violacea Meigen, 1826 (N, S, Si, Sa?) <= I think is it the right one.

Sepsis fulgens Meigen, 1826 (N, S, Si, Sa) <= Another choice

Ok, at this point I think the choice is from:

Sepsis violacea and Sepsis fulgens

The colors and the abdomen look similar to the S. violacea, but the forelegs (rapt.) look like the S. fulgens

Any help? Smile

Thanks,
Marcello
