Could this be Dystolmus kiesenwetteri? Found in Provence, South France. Photos taken by Karin Oving Bert Oving attached the following image:  [196.34Kb] Edited by Bert Oving on 21-11-2016 21:32 Best regards, Bert |

Hello Bert, I don't think this is D. kiesenwetteri, still looks more like a Machimus sp female. But a better look at the ovipositor would be very helpful. http://www.biodiversidadvirtual.org/insectarium/Dystomus-kiesenwetteri-(Loew-1854)-img602052.html Here you can see the shape of the ovipositor.... : ) Greetings, Reinoud Field guide to the robber flies of the Netherlands and Belgium: https://www.jeugdbondsuitgeverij.nl/product/field-guide-to-the-robberflies-of-the-netherlands-and-belgium/ https://www.nev.nl/diptera/ |

On second thought, i think your ID is right! The ovipositor is simply hidden behind a stone and makes it appear more triangular. The reason why i had to think of Machimus. The ribbed dorsal side of the ovipositor is the same as that of kiesenwetteri.....the cerci seem to be wedged in the ovipositor.
