Hi
Could this be a Thecophora?
Switzerland, Kanton Schwyz, Altendorf (near lake Zurich), 430m, 16.07.2024, not longer as 10 mm
Kind regards, Brigitte

Hi Brigitte,
Thecophora is correct and from what I see it could be a male
Thecophora bimaculata. But it's only based on the description of the female's antenna and femora in:
Jens-Hermann Stuke (2006): Thecophora pusilla auct. - ein Artenkomplex (DÃptera: Conopidae)
(Syrphidae is the wrong forum for the Conopidae)

Hi Eric
Thanks a lot for the confirmation of Thecophora, the species and all the informations!
I'm sorry about the wrong forum. Thank you for the correction.
Kind regards, Brigitte
