Last summer I saw various Robberflies in Switzerland, Tessin. I wonder whether this one can be IDed tot genus level (or below!).

This was a rather smallish species, much smaller than Machimus and Laphria also flying there, especially more slender.

I'm not sure the male and female are the same species.

Habitat: confirous forest with meadows. This Roberfly was common on foot tracks in the forest, resting on stones.
