Is this Dysmachus trigonus from the Asilidae family, please? (This post was erroneously placed in the Diptera (adults) thread). chrisinburgundy attached the following image:  [119.53Kb] |

Explanation: Looking at the shape of the ovipositor and the lack of bristles on the back before the transverse suture make this an animal of the Machimus/Tolmerus group. I used the key by Engel but i cant see enough on this picture to be sure. Important is the fact that this creature seems to have entirely black legs.

Thank you so much for your clear explanation, Reinoud. I think that I can safely label the insect 'probably Tolmerus cf atripes'. I appreciate your help. |
