Dear all, last saturday I found the following fly in a meadow in Berlin, Germany: I somehow think it belongs to Bombylidae, but do not know why exactly I think this. It is more like a feeling.. Can you help me be clear and is it maybe possible to tlell somethink about the genus or species?

aha! i didn't read your post very well. I am also in Berlin and so far i have only found Lomatia lateralis but i cannot confirm the species in your photo as lateralis without genitalia. So Lomatia cf lateralis is better here.

..I just checked the species list for Berlin/Brandenburg from the ORION entomology society Berlin and it states Lomatia lateralis as only species recorded from that genus. So it might be quite sure. Thanks again |

orion lists are not accurate. For example, i am publishing a confirmation on my website for Calliopum simillimum. I have verified its presence with genitalia for both male and female. C. simillimum is not in this list. I find alot of species missing from this list. My advice is to avoid orion altogether and check faunaeuropaea.
