Any clues about the fly?  I hope that photos enable to you get the species..I have doubts ... now I htinh that it is improbable that is a Bombyliidae, but, this remember me almost a Bombyliidae... so can you help me to identify this one? Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-06-2006 23:17 |

It is Bombyliidae, rest assured. But that Mediterranean stuff is rather tircky for most of us northern Europeans.

I am fairly sure this is Cononedys scutellatus, looks as if scutellum is apically shiny black. this is the only species of this in Iberia and is quite common, saw lots in Andalucia last week. |

no idea about this, but if you want i can ask miguel Carles-Tolr?, spanish specialist and author of the catalogue of diptera from spain, portugal and andorra there?s a book for spanish bombyliidae but from 196.. not actualized and with no keys, just a few descriptions. I?ve foundt us? keys but really don?t suit here, they have lots of different species (by internet: http://www.hr-rna...%20key.htm) maybe useful could be 2 more books; one for Mydidae and another for nemestrinidae, but (wow) 1913 and 1914 ! more reliable there is the book for Tabanidae in fauna Iberica, actual species, keys and drawings good luck |
