Hi,
Here is an
Odontomyia from Bulgaria i caught last year. I have hard time to tell if this is
O hydroleon or argentata (or maybe an other one)
What is you opinion?
Markovo (Center of Bulgaria) 200m hight, 10mm, in a dried field, with a canalized river not far.

Hello clovis,
It does indeed look like a Odontomyia but it is a Lasiopa sp. Very difficult to ID I seem to remember.
B.t.w. 'Witch' means: a person who practices witchcraft or an ugly or unpleasant woman... :P
Greetings,

Hum, your right, my mistake, it is a male^^ (i meant "which" as you guessed)
Lasiopa, i didn't even know that genus! But that explain quite well why it doesn't have any "spikes" on scutellum... :S

By the way, would you have a key of that genus? I have the specimen in hand?
