looks to be a Villa sp. I have no knowledge of many Spanish Villa.

edit: positive Anthracinae but I will try to eliminate Anthrax.
I will search for better descriptions of Villa and Anthrax from Spain.

I stand by my opinion that it is a Villa species. I think that it matches the description of Villa cingulum in Meigen 1820.

I cannot find descriptions for Villa cebalosi and Villa fasciculata. But I doubt that it is either one of these.

I will say Villa cf. cingulum. maybe someone else has a different opinion?

I am a bit jealous of your photo Smile very nice photo of a rarely photographed Villa.


edit: I only state cf (confer) because I prefer genitalia for a 100% identification. I certainly label this as Villa cingulum in my own work. I strive to be a Bombyliidae expert someday I need several years before I can reach such a level of expertise. Until then, I recommend cf for now.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
