Oh itīs amazing! I hope anyone can identify it, just a few "lost steps" looking drawings of books

- the most similiar wing at Palaearctic seems Exoprosopa pectoralis, it has yellow face
but black frons :( (Engel, 1938)

- another similar wing pattern: Diatropomma, related to Isomyia but both have a narrow wing base and are Etiopian :(( ("Exoprosopinae", Hull, 1973)

- at bugguide: http://bugguide.n...96/bgimage

- page 159, figure "f" Poecilanthrax http://redalyc.ua...523111.pdf

- "nearest" ones in keys for eastern (US) are Exoprosopa and Dipalta

Could "Exoprosopini" be said at least? :(
regards :)
