very interesting:
black tegula, broad third antennal segment and a pair of median marignal bristles on syntergite 1&2: would imply S. hokkaidensis ??
you are not supposed to have this species, I think.

I guess it has not been collected ?

I did not know it could be interesting. Had I known, I would have tried to collect for you. Just take pictures, I have no knowledge of entomology. Just trying to harvest when I think it can be interesting for specialists. Will try capture, if I return to find her.
If I have more photos, add some more.

Would correct the name Siphona cf. hokkaidensis.

I am very grateful for your support.
Kind regards from southern Spain.

Well, we never will be 100 % sure, but it does look like hokkaidensis.

Would be the first for the Iberian peninsula

Thanks for your reply

Well, it would not be the first dipterous, who photographed for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. Wink

As would be more accurate to call: Siphona hokkaidensis or Siphona cf. hokkaidensis ?
It is a female?

Kind regards

With photos I would always use "cf." because they are difficult enough with specimens but with photos we can never know if we are seeing all of the characters clearly enough Wink
