Thanks Reinoud.
As far as I can see Tolmerus is now considered a separate genus.
I found some pictures of T. pyragra on robberflies.info and –in my perception- the form of the hypopygium seems to match.
Only FE stays unrelenting: no Tolmerus in Crete. However, they report it present in mainland Greece, on Samos and on Cyprus. It looks like Crete is almost surrounded with T. pyragra, so maybe some adventurous specimens have taken a chance……
