Hello,

found this Asilidae in Padua, Northeast of Italy, maybe could be:

Antipalus varipes female ?

The colors legs, the wings, the design on the thorax, the abdomen pattern and the face are very similar. but I don't have any keys .. just based on the web photo and on the checklist.

BTW there are Machimus sp. similars too.

I need some expert Smile

Thanks for the help
