Another one; this one appreciably smaller than the previous "call it Bombyliid".

Place: Chisamba, Lusaka North, Zambia.

Habitat: Ornamental flowerbeds (within a wider area of dry scrub ).

Size - 7-9mm.

Via Hesse 1956 key - and the Nomenclator to sort out synonymy - this seems to be Exhyalanthrax abruptus.

And I knew I'd already put it here somewhere.

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.
