Hello!


I photographed this Asilidae near Lyon (south-east of France) on August 2, 2021. It was 8 mm long.
With the red genitalia, the global habitus and the size, perhaps it belongs to genus Cerdistus? If so, can we go further?
I have additional pics from other angles if needed.

Cerdistus is right. I would become more easy if you know how many C. species are known from France.

According to our national databank, we only have two species in that genus: Cerdistus erythrurus and Cerdistus melanomerus. Can we separate the two species with photos?

EDIT : the status of melanomerus seems unclear, I found only one mention to this species, which is its own description by Tsacas, 1964...

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
