Hello,

I found thix diptera on a rock near a lake. It was on the atlantic coast at 15 kms from Casablanca.
After discussion we are not agree with Anthrax.

Could you help me to be sure of the determination.

Thanks,

JPhilippe

Hi,

so you're sure for the genus but not for the species?

Hello JPhilippe, I simply responded to your statement that you cannot agree with Anthrax. The species is Anthracini. The species is clearly not Bombyliinae, Exoprosopini or Villini. I do not know why you think that it isn't Anthrax. Furthermore, i think that the closest match is Anthrax aethiops. I'm simply asking you why you would not agree. I think that it is Anthrax aethiops. Obviously, without a specimen we will have to say Anthrax cf aethiops. However, i cannot imagine a better match.

Sorry,

I didn't understood "why not Anthrax aethiops?".

Thank you for your answer. So Anthrax aethiops is the better match!
