Hello

This small Asilid on a pubescent oak in a dry meadow.
Could that be Dioctria atricapilla as shown in recent threads?

Le Perray, Siccieu (38 FR) le 14/07/06

Thanks in advance

Christophe

Comparing it with THIS ONE I would say Choerades, but I have been wrong in this group too many times. Frown

Hi Christophe
This is not Dioctria - the very curved hind tibia and the form of the genitalia are not right. It is a species of Choerades, and the one it fits best is dioctriaformis! Smile
The author, Meigen, clearly thought the same as you - you're in good company! Grin
It's not a common species in France, according to Seguy - a very good find!

dioctriaformis indeed! What a trap! It's a tricky species.
Thank you Paul for the photo and genus ID
Thank you Tony for the species ID and comments!
Smile Relieved to see than wise and experienced dipterists like Meigen... and Paul can be trapped too! Smile
And happy to discover a new Asilid not so common.
Christophe
