This beautiful fly was yesterday in Juslibol, very near Zaragoza city, Spain, at 200 metyers high, just between dry gypsiferous steppe-lands and dense river forest. Usually I never catch any fly but this one I caught for Jorge M. Almeida, but unfortunately the pot when I have this fly was lost, due to a hole in my bag.
The size of this conopid was about 12 mm. long.
Could be identified?

A Conops?? Abdomen long and not very recurved. Well, I'll let it as C. ceriaeformis with doubts...
Thanks!

I think an error in the code that parses the img tags. I'll look into it (or rather, have someone look into it).

Some hours ago any of the two images was seen in the thread. Fortunately and thank to you, now I saw the two pics.

Congratulations for the new look of D.I. (ith Jorge Motal Almeida favourite family at the head!)
