I found this fly on 17-06-2015, near Faliraki. I am clueless even with the genus, but found a bad picture of a rather worn specimen of Caecanthrax arabicus here: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/275340625_The_bee_flies_(Diptera_Bombyliidae)_of_Jordan showing a wing pattern very similar to the one I photographed. Could this sp. have anything to do with the one in the picture? (All my pics are from this angle, unfortunately.) Thanks for any help!

Enlargement of the head, perhaps it helps...

Henrik, it could be. The looks (including venation and abdominal pattern) seem to match my references and the species is present in Rhodes. But I need to go through the description in detail and also check if something similar might be found there too. You will know from me again about this issue  |

Dear Piluca, do you still have some doubts about the ID of this fly? I looked through the available check lists of nearby countries, but found nothing really similar to Caecanthrax arabicus Greetings, and a Happy New Year! Henrik Edited by piros on 02-01-2016 20:12 |
