Thread subject: Diptera.info :: A possible Laphria species from Romania

Last week I was in Romania where I managed to capture and photograph several interesting flies including this large Asilid species which I think is a Laphrria sp. and perhaps Laphria ephippium. I would be grateful if somebody could confirm this identification or if not advise me of its real identity. I have retained a specimen and also have other images. The species was caught in the Birsa Valley, Transylvania on 15 June 2011

Very many thanks

Alan

I tried several times yesterday to get the image to load but without any success and I don't know what I have been doing wrong. The image size is well below the limit and the file name has been reduced to just Laphria. I will try again today and hope that it gets through successfully. It appears that it has still not worked today either!
