Hi This photo was granted by a big friend of mine: Farhan Bokhari. He took this photo in Wireless hill - Perth - Western Australia on 16 September 2006. It is an amazing fly! Is it possible to reach, at least, the genus? EDIT---> Title changed from "Spectacular bombyliidae from Australia" to "Bombyliidae - Comptosia sp." Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 08-09-2007 02:40 |

Looks like Cythereinae, if so then could be Neosardus but this is guesswork |

According to David Yeates this is Comptosia sp. (Lomatiinae). I will ask my friend if he grants to put these photos in gallery. |
