My guess is Cephalops (Cephalops) spec. (a male) but a closer examination is necessary to be sure about this. |

Hi Shunfa, With closer examination I meant a dissection of the genitalia. Unfortunately there is not much information available on Oriental Pipunculidae. Regards, Christian |

Understandable, cause this family is closely related to the Syrphidae family. |
