I found this fly in Szeged, S. Hungary, on 02.06.2012. I think it is a Bombylisoma minimum male. Can somone confirm (or correct) this ID? Thanks in advance! Henrik piros attached the following image:  [179.55Kb] Edited by piros on 03-04-2013 12:34 |

Because of the characteristic wing venation, I am fairly confident about the genus Bombylisoma. The reasons I think it is B. minimum are the presence of some long, dark hairs on the abdomen and two bunches of golden-yellow hairs right under the eyes. I would appreciate any opinion!

Hi, Henrik I am not an expert, but as nobody comments, I am going to do it as I am at the moment completely obsessed with Bombyliids  Totally agree with Bombylisoma  Although I don't know the Bombyliids present in Hungary, I am pretty sure the genus is right  About the species, obviosly it isn't any of the ones I recognize for sure (melanocephalum, nigriceps and notatum). It fits with minimum but unfortunately I haven't any experience with the other species and I cannot garantee that the ID is correct  But at least you know now that somebody else agrees with your ID, although it cannot be confirmed Best Piluca Edited by Piluca_Alvarez on 03-04-2013 19:18 |
