Hmm, Rondania and Graphogaster spring to mind ... one of those might be the answer to the other difficult one with the curved-under abdomen. They are just so rare here that I haven't got much experience with them :) I need more examples! :D

Funny - I just found one of these in a sample of Russian tachinids from the Caucasus ... now I have seen it it is instantly recognizable! :D
