Hello hello ! I have some issues with this Bombyliidae, I started by looking at smooth and glabrous looking Bombylius sp. but since they seem to loose their hair when drying, I used the Mark Van Veen key and I end up on Bombylius cinerascens but that's not satisfying at all. Here are the criterias I saw : 7mm, black halter heads, black femoras. Locality : France, Maurecourt (78382, Northern half of france).   Also, when I was looking for the 2-3 black bristles at the beginning of the wings, I spotted this weird looking fork. What could it be ?  Thanks already for your help  |

Hi LeCrapoutch, for me B. cinerascens looks good: Femora black, bristles at base of the wings black, vein R-M in middle of discalcell, and brownish yellow hair, long tongue, wings without spots and no black hairs behind the eyes (Veldtabel wolzwevers, J.T. Smit) Greetings, Eric |
