Hello,

Hoping to get an ID on this please? Photo attached. Could it be Machimus cingulatus?

Found a couple of weeks ago Guernsey, Channel Islands. In coastal scrubland habitat.

Cheers,
Al

Hi Al, I think Machimus (Tolmerus) cingulatus is correct. Resembling is M. cowini and difficult to distinguish but as we can see the posterior yellow stripe on forefemur it is most probably cingulatus.

NB: it's better to place your queries for robberflies in the Asilidae forum to attract the experts.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
