I found a lot of this "jumping" flies, this is the first time I see it so I need help to ID :)

Poecilobothrus sp. female

---

Thank you Stefan.

I can add:

Arista bare, almost half of the wing is shaded in black (longitudinal)

Based on the Italian checklist we have:

Poecilobothrus fumipennis (Stannius, 1831) (N, S)

Poecilobothrus infuscatus (Stannius, 1831) (S, Si)

Poecilobothrus nobilitatus (Linné, 1767) (N, S)

Poecilobothrus regalis (Meigen, 1824) (N, S)

I found it at the North Italy so there remain only three species:

Poecilobothrus fumipennis (Stannius, 1831) (N, S)

Poecilobothrus nobilitatus (Linné, 1767) (N, S)

Poecilobothrus regalis (Meigen, 1824) (N, S)

---

Not Poecilobothrus nobilitatus because I saw the male and he hadn't the White tips at the wings

---

Dear Marcello, considering it is a female, I guess it is Poecilobothrus infuscatus Stann.

---

Here we can see better the wing

---

Thanks Stefan, I think I found the male too, one moment and I'll post it.

---

Ok, that's the male:

Marcello, on the last photo I can see two dorsal setae on the hind basitarsus, so it must be P. regalis Meigen.

Thank you for the help and the explanations Stefan!
