Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Asilidae (SW France) for ID (thread '4' of 2), identified, Andrenosoma atra

This is another large-bodied black species from the same coastal sandy environment by a small 'lake' (swamp) surrounded by pine trees referred to as 'Reserve naturelle de l'Etang Cosseau, Aquitaine, France,' taken yesterday, 14 September '14. It appears to be eating another asilid. This would be the 4th species from this region now, with neither sight nor sound of the previous three species yesterday (unless the meal is one of them).

Again, any assistance with an identification would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.
