Hello, this fly was drowned in a pond in Morocco, in the natural park of Talassemtane, about 1500 meters above the sea level. Was abundant in the area. I have several specimens preserved in alcohol if necessary to see some characters for the determination.

Thanks Sara, I think that know the genus will be imposible. ¿Does anyone knows the subfamily or the tribe? If is necessary I have more photos. MY COLLECTION IN: http://www.taxateca.com/ordendiptera.html |

This is a Sepsis species, might even be fulgens but I do not know if that species does occur there. You might send a male (with such protruberances on the fore legs) for confirmation. If you say abundant, do you mean a aggregation of many specimens on a relatively small surface (a 'swarm'  . Such aggregations are know for Sepsis fulgens (only).
