It is in the Bombylius ater group.
In Spain, they have several species in this group. Maybe the same applies in Turkey.

According to Evenhuis & Greathead 1999 there is only one member of Bombylella (=ater group) in Europe, i paste the entry below.
Genus BOMBYLELLA Greathead
atra
Bombylius ater Scopoli, 1763.
i presume the change in the specific name results from the transfer to new genus but do not understand latin enough to be sure.
