In th same location where I found Hybomitra caucasica and auripila, I saw a third Hybomitra species (as well as Philipomyia aprica and some Haematopota). I saw a male as well as a female unknown Hybomitra, sor for my convenience I assume they belong to the same species - I keep my fingers crossed! Female all black except for green eyes with three narrow red bands. edit: photo's removed, since it appeared to be female caucasica after all! see below Male very dark, but with orange patches on the sides of first segments; eyes green with two narrow red bands. Additional info: Hasliberg, Switzerland (ca 1000 m altitude); 5 July 2008. Intensively used hey land, mown twice a year and fertilized with dung. Any suggestions to ID are warmly welcome - as allways! Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [76.53Kb] Edited by Cor Zonneveld on 11-10-2008 21:39 Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

again male, orange patches now visible The male reminded me of Philipomyia aprica, though much darker - but the eye bands do not square with that species. Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [72.29Kb] Edited by Cor Zonneveld on 11-10-2008 16:18 Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

The 2 are not conspecific. The female is, again, caucasica (? why not), the male difficult to see, possible montana / nigricornis Theo |

Ok, thanks Theo. I found the eye bands more focussed compared to earlier, but may be this depends on sighting angle etc. The male then. This is a dorsal shot, maybe that helps more? ps I deleted the female caucasica, to clean up my mess
