Hi,

I found this mâle in central Bulgaria.
I am tempted to make it a Machimus setibarbus, but I found out M modestus has similar genitalia (looking at this picture: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=34957) and couldn't find more information about the latter.
What do you think? Do you know how to differentiate those two species?

I caught this specimen if more informations are needed, but specimen is in bad condition.
