A female Geron. But the genus is taxonomicly in state of chaos  I wouldn't dare to venture a name of species... I gave up working with keys months ago. However, somebody well into Bombyliids might be able to say something...EDIT: The situation doesn't seem to be as bad in France as it is in the Iberian Peninsula... Only 3 species recorded in France. This might be then the female of Geron halteralis. However, don't take this as a proper ID. It is only tentative  A lateral picture showing the face more clearly would be of great help.

Hi Piluca, thanks for your explanation and the ID! Unfortunately I've got just this one picture, so I cannot help you out there. Best regards Christian |
