Another dimunutive Robber Fly. There were hundreds of these, only 25 meters or so from the Ohio River. Taken two days ago.

Size was small, especially for a Robber Fly.

Maybe subfamily Laphrininae?

Laphrinae/Cerotainia sp.? (checked bugguide.net)

Hi Stephen.
I agree with Black - see http://www.dipter...ad_id=2619. Hopefully Eric may confirm this for us.

Thank-you Black and Tony! That genus and even that species do look like good matches. Plenty of white hairs there.

& Tony, I agree that this one looks like the same species as the one I submitted a mere two weeks ago. I should have looked through my backfile. I suppose I was thinking this was something new, since it was in an unusual environment beside a large river (the other was photographed outside my house last summer).

Ah, at age 49 my memory isn't what it once was!

Thanks again to both of you for the ID.

Stephen,

Nice shots of Cerotainia albipilosa. (Yesterday, I posted my reply to the wrong thread [viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=2619]; Doh!)

Eric, Thanks very much for your help with this one!
