The top one should be a bee fly (Bombyliidae), for the bottom one I withhold any opinion for the moment other than that is must be one of the orthorrhaphous Brachycera. Mediterranean Diptera always have tricky surprises for us Northerners.

Thanks Paul. I'm glad we manage to surprise you sometimes . I will now go away on my own somewhere and figure out what an orthorrhaphous Brachycera might be! Sarah |

Orthorrhaphous Brachycera are the families like Asilidae, Rhagionidae, Stratiomyidae, Tabanidae, Bombyliidae, Empdidae and related. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Thanks... not an expression I think I'll be using much in everyday conversation, but it's just as well to know just in case  , Sarah |

Second one looks like a Bombylidae as well. But no standard one ! Theo Zeegers |

Thw top one is a species of the genus Usia, i am keen to get specimens of this genus so if you have any do please contact me. the second one is very likely Cyllenia rustica but really need more views to be sure |
