Hi everybody, I photographed this this morning in a wet riverine forest along the Greek border with Bulgaria (Promahonas). It looks a lot like the Ilione albiseta that is now on the front page of diptera.info to me - can the ID be certain?:|

Sepedon spinipes, on account of the elongate second antennal segment and brown body coloour.

Hmmm - you may be correct - but then what makes the first two photos here below Ilione albiseta and not Sepedon spinipes which is what the third one apparently is, which I agree looks a lot like my photo.

Look more closely at the second antennal segment.
