Found near Bácsborista, about 35 km. W of Szeged, S. Hungary, on 05. 08. 2011. I think it is a female of Physocephala chrysorrhoea. Can someone confirm or correct this ID?
Kind regards,
Henrik

Is this an impossible case?

I've checked everything I could, and now I am quite confident that this fly is indeed P. chrysorrhoea, so I will file it under that name, unless someone disagree...

I agree with you.

(I have already given up on this...)

Dear Members,
I have also a Physocephala from Turkey near to chryorrhoea, but different species. What is your opinion on this subject?

As you know, I am no expert of anything, but this fly looks closer to P. lacera (male) to me, especially if it were fairly small. In any case, this one doesn't seem to have a silverish stripe on the pleura between wing base and midle leg, unlike P. chrysorrhoea, which does.
Best wishes,
Henrik

I support your approach, OK not 100% but a very small conopid, resembling other identified P. lacera in various diptera sites, incl. Diptera.info. Thanks Henrik!

Cesa, yours should be a male
Physocephala vittata...

The specimen from Turkey is surly vitiate, the specimen from Hungary is very strange. It is far from typical chrysorrhoe that should occur in Hungary but I have no idea what else it could be. Has the specimen been collected?

No, unfortunately, it has not been collected :( However, I've seen a number of very similar flies at the same place, so I might be able to collect the sp. in the future, if it is interesting in any way...
Greetings,
Henrik

BTW, would you please explain to me what is unusual about it? (So that I would be able to recognize it, if see one again)
