The palps are wide?
I think Aphantorhaphopsis.

Hello Christophe ! and thank you,

The palps are wide?
I think Aphantorhaphopsis.


I don't find than palps are wide, i see them rather thin. What do you think ?

I think it's realy a Ceranthia sp.. I see 3dc (but it's maybe a mistake), in this case it could be C. abdominalis (r4+5 with bristlets only to r-m and r1 bare) but in this specie the abdomen is dark. My fly have orange and dark abdomen ... I'm a little lost.

Well, confirmed is difficult from pictures, but I would definitely think this is the male of C. abdominalis.
