Hi,
Here is Asilidae I met last year in North Sardinia. I'm bothered because I identified it as a
Tolmerus corsicus.
But it is really different from the one I just posted here:

So do you think I was wrong in my identification?

Aaaaghhhhh, the whole group of Machimus/Tolmerus etc. of species can give a headache. I think most dipterists gave up on them a long time ago. This specimen seems to have an elongated eighth sternite which should exclude corsicus. But admittedly I am not 100% sure about my ID in your other post. Pro are: Corsica, no projection on eighth sternite, rest fits description. Need to compare it with type material I am afraid.

Yeah, It clearly gives me headache! I was waiting for other species to compare but it get worst^^
Well, I have to find some specimen identified T corsicus to compare.
I'll tell/show you the result ;)
