Villa is a very tricky genus with several similar species, and our expert David Gibbs once wrote: "One thing I can say for certain, any photo of this group of Villa which has not been collected, and in the case of males dissected, is very unlikely to be reliably named. Even specimens are very difficult to name and this will remain the case untill the whole genus is revised." So - hopeless...
Regards, Sundew

BTW, Villa belongs to Bombyliidae and is wrong here in the Asilidae forum.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
