Do you mean the picture on Joge's site? for i thought that picture was taken in Spain....
Yes, that is the one I mean :) I thought it was taken in Portugal, but I might be wrong. Jorge can clarify that for sure :)
If it was taken in Spain it would make much more sense. That creature truly looks like the ones from Madrid. Then the variability might be a local thing from Algarve (mainly jet black occipital bristles, which should be mainly pale in
T. bolivari; not really oval 3rd antennal segment in the Algarve specimens, which should be very oval in the real
T. bolivari, etc...)
Or perhaps the variability is just a Northern/Southern thing :)

I couldn't find it either... that is why I commented that I hoped I was right. However, that is the idea I had. Where did I get it?? I am afraid I don't know. Might be one of those things that one gets wrong when starts studying a subject and one believes it till somebody can prove one wrong ;)
But if it is not a synonym of
T. bolivari or other
Asilus, why Lehr questioned the validity of the species? Can you have a rough idea by Meigen description what it might be related to? My German doesn't allow me to get it :(
Long discussion. I hope we are not boring our forum colleges ;)
