Hi Reinoud,

Machimus (Machimus) chrystis (Meigen, 1820) (N)

Machimus (Machimus) cribratus (Loew, 1849) (S)

Machimus (Machimus) cyanopus (Loew, 1849) (N)

Machimus (Machimus) dasypygus (Loew, 1849) (S, Si)

Machimus (Machimus) fimbriatus (Meigen, 1804) (N, S)

Machimus (Machimus) fortis (Loew, 1849) (S)

Machimus (Machimus) gonatistes (Zeller, 1840) (N)

Machimus (Machimus) lacinulatus Loew, 1854 (N, S)

Machimus (Machimus) minusculus Bezzi, 1899 (S)

Machimus (Machimus) pilipes (Meigen, 1820) (S)

Machimus (Machimus) rusticus (Meigen, 1820) (N, S)

Machimus (Machimus) setibarbis (Loew, 1849) (N)

Where N = North and S = South.
I found this subject at North Italy.

Thank you for the help!
