This could be Archiconops smithi. But for a safe identification it is necssary to check the specimen.

wonderful fly! :) I know that Tha?land is not a part of palearctic area but it's a shame that there is no palearctic key for Conopidae, even to genera. I like this family!

Nearly all of Jens-Hermann Stuke's Publications can be found on his homepage as pdf: http://www.schweb...stuke.html (Mainly Syrphidae and Conopidae)

Nikita did not mean prototype as such, but mimiced model.

Sure, but you are no conopid parasitoid in the biological sense. ;)
