Dr. Majer J?zsef agree with my hypothesis. He said: "There is great prabality of your fly is a female Rhagio niger (Wiedemann en Meigen, 1820)." A new for diptera.info. |

Surprise: This is actually the female of Rhagio aterrimus Zeegers & Alvarez Fidalgo. Published yesterday, if you are struggling to find it ! This photo is mentioned in the article. Note the aberrant wing venation, which proves to be pretty common in this species. Nice photographs, Jorge ! Theo |
