Hi, i found this really cool looking blue soldier fly in a forest park in Selangor, Malaysia. The same place i found the blue robber fly.
Any help on ID appreciated :)

Well, it is identical with Anoamyia javana AND Clitellaria bilineata...
while bilineata is the older species name, it is not doing well in the genus Clitellaria, which has a round abdomen, while bilineata has an oval abdomen... So there is still a lot to do with synonyms and right placement, but for now I would call it a female of Clitellaria bilineata (Fabricius, 1805)....Nigritomyia is nearly the same, but they have normally the last two antennal segments densely covered in small hairs... but they just might all be placed in one genus...
