Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Diogmites?

I've been browsing the gallery trying to id this Asilidae and this picture
http://www.dipter...oto_id=651
looks very similar to the one I attach with this message, but the antenna and feet colour are different.

Does any one know it is really a Diogmites? And if so, any ideas on specific id?

Thanks in advance,

Aleix,

This fly from Catalonia must be a Stenopogon sp. (though I don't know which one). Diogmites is strictly an American genus (most species being Neotropical).
