Hello,

I found this fly near Umito (AP), Italy, 650m a.s.l. on July 22nd 2023. I think it is a Cylindromyia, but is it possible to identify its species? I can provide more photos if needed.

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

In the key to Central European species, Cylindromyia bicolor has the combination of discals and red-tipped abdomen.

C. interrupta has discals but is a darker species and lacks apical scutellar bristles.
