Hello to all!
In Europe this robberfly would be a Dioctria, as I find. Can this be confirmed for South American cloud forest, too, or are there other genera looking like this?
As far as I remember its size was about 15mm.

11.8.2009, Ecuador, Prov. Pichincha, Mindo, about 1300m asl

Rupert, this is a Eumecosoma sp. (Atomosiini group of Laphriinae, Asilidae).

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
