For sure female of s.f. Asilinae and tribe Asilini. Probably in the
Machimus group

Thanks, you're so kind:). But I feel more like a minesweeper and sometimes mines blow up :S... I rely too much in keys (some maybe out of date), and I see isn't always effective. I must start to collect many specimen and increase knowledge in morphology!

Ciao Valerio,
My IDs normally explode in my face, 110% sure with much more frequency than in your case!!! |t |t |t
Personally I loathe keys. :@
Usually the worst method to ID common species. Very difficult to 'brew' adecuate keys, very diffilcult indeed.
¡Saludos! :)
