Dear Piluca, I cannot thank you enough for your continuous interest and help with these Bombyliidae!

Of course, I remember your note about the similarity between E. dispar and H. rivularis, and the dissimiliraty between the former and E. minos!

With the help of your exceptionally neat picture of H. rivularis, one can also see that this sp has light brown patches of hairs on the side of anterior tergites, which are lacking in E. dispar.

Actually, I am very glad that we cleared this confusing situation :)

Greetings,
Henrik
