Is not H. morio, but I don't know if can be maura, velutina or another spp. It's bigger than the "normal" hemipenthes that I usually see: size as an Anthrax anthrax. Yesterday. Juslibol, Zaragoza, Spain. Dry gypsiferous steppes.  Thanks, Isidro |

I see no reason why this would not be H. velutina. I believe that size is not very important with Bombyliid flies. I think the size depends on the availibility of food. Conspecific individuals may therefore show a huge variation in size. Edited by Xespok on 11-06-2009 11:24 Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

Thanks Gabor, I let it as H. velutina. I asked because I don't know the features that distinguish the four Hemipenthes species recorded from my region. I call the black-bodied H. morio and the white-striped H. velutina but are also H. maura and other that I don't remember the name. |
