7 January 2015. Chubut province, Patagonia, Argentina. Arid habitat, with many low bushes that had thorns. I would be glad to know the family, or any other ID people can provide. Thank-you. --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Looks like Bombyliidae. I've seen that contorted R2+3 used in a key before. I forget how distinctive it is. |

Definitely Bombyliidae.
