More pictures? I'd say this is not Asilidae but maybe Bombyliidae...

Not Empididae, I think, maybe Hybotidae or rather one of the smaller families that Sinclair et al. distinguished. Without better view of wing venation I cannot really say more. It also reminds me of some pictures Xespok posted long time ago for which I also was not able to tell the family. Without the mystax ('beard'  I cannot see this being an asilid.

Previous thread. Xespok's images are here: http://xespok.net...1000024496 http://xespok.net...1000024499 . Clearly not the same but some similarity over all. Edited by Paul Beuk on 11-05-2008 16:31 Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

I think that this might be a Trichopeza (Empididae) near to T. liliae Yang et al. If you see another please catch it and I'll try to ID it for you cheers Adrian |

I've just had another thought. The photo appears to show a strongly sclerotized abdomen. The legs are not as spinose as in all described Trichopeza and the position of the head (almost ventral on the thorax) is rather low for Trichopeza. Pity we can't see more detail on the photo But:----- Considering these features with other lesser important characters and the habitus, I think that this is actually Chvalaea sp. (Hybotidae) This is a little known genus but there is at least one undescribed species from China and SE Asia. Please go back and catch more....... cheers Adrian |

Xespok's images show something close(r) to Trichopeze...

Thanks a lot Paul and Adrian! The place where i photographed these pictures is far from here i live, my jeep was destroyed as useless on high way in order to take these photoes.  I may pay some attention on catch similar species in the future, but catch specimen from that place will be delayed till i am allowed to do it.

Hi Loepa You might like to look at the description of Chvalaea. It is by Papp & Foldvari in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 47(4) 349-361 (2001)- A new genus and three new species of Hybotidae with new records of the Hungarian Empidoidae. I suppose that you must have been hit by the recent earthquake and hope that you have escaped without injury cheers Adrian |

Hi Adrian, Many thanks for your kind care. We had strong shaking here when the earthquake happened, but it passed, and no serious loss here.It is 500-600KM far from the seismic center. about the article of Chvalaea, where can it be got? Best regards, loepa Loepa http://www.insect... |

Lifting this old but interesting thread from obscurity, I have to say this fly looks very much like the Chvalaea specimen I have recently seen. The original description of the genus, with a drawing of Chvalaea sopianae, is now on the web at http://www.ucl.ac...l_2002.pdf Kahis |

This option never crossed my mind as it appeared from the first image as if there were elongate mouthparts. Having a closer look it is the tibia of the left fore leg... Wing veneations seems to fit, though it is not very well visible because of the reflections on the wing surface.
