I don't see the modified tarsomeres of Clinohelea. Quoting Grogan and Wirth (1976): "4th tarsomere of at least mid and hind legs deeply bilobed, each lobe ending in a stout blunt spine and smaller spines; fore 5th tarsomere greatly swollen in both sexes; fore claws equal, mid and hind very unequal in female" |

Thanks you, John !  Unfortunately, my other pictures don't show the tarsomeres  What other Genus could it be ? Maybe a Palpomyia sp. ? Edited by Renko on 21-06-2019 17:28 |

That would have been my guess.
