Hmmmm, decided to look at the photo's again...it is for sure a Lauxaniidae, but I am not convinced any more about Calliopum. I am well able to imagine that there are other "weird" lauxanids in Italy. Pity I can't see the birstles on the thorax well

Thank you, Katka, thank you! I began to hesitate...I wondered what kind of weird looking, Lauxaniids you have in Southern Europe. Is it elisae? I think (!) I see 4 ac's and the third segment of the antenna looks pretty long

Thanks to all, referring to the Checklist of the Italian fauna updated on 2003, the following are the only Calliopum found in my country : Calliopum Strand, 1928 Calliopum aeneum (Fallén, 1820) (N, S) Calliopum elisae (Meigen, 1826) (N) Calliopum nigripes (Macquart, 1835) (Si) So, may be, could be easier to ID the right one!

Well, considering that it might be nigripes, but I am certain there should be more species on the Italian list than those three.
